Textile Artist
How Many?
How many people have worn it?
How many children has it kept warm?
How many times was it given and received?
How many times was it bought and sold?
How many cupboards was it stored in?
How many bags did it travel in?
How many lives did it lead?
Unknown stories…
Unanswered questions…..
Working with materials, such as woollen blankets and clothing collected in 2nd hand shops and what has been given to me, continues to fascinate me.
All the unknown stories…
All the unanswered questions….
By dyeing, stitching and embellishing the materials and make them into art works, I give them another life and honour them.
How many people will look at them?
How many…..?
