As my train rolls into Kendal, I think about how, despite being a stone’s throw away, I’ve never visited before. I’m here now to see Thinking is Making, a group show of ten artists who have all been recipients of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award (MTSA) in the past eleven years, spotlighting each individual artist and the richness of their practice, whilst bringing specific works into a wider dialogic space under the shared legacy of the MTSA.
