I worked with the elderly residents at Guildcare to make these clay figures. They clothed their figures using bits of old clothing, jewelry and sewing scraps. Each figure told a story. We also made cyanotypes on postcards of some of the materials used on the figures. These figures and postcards were displayed at Worthing Museum as part of the exhibition Memory of Clothes.
Memory of Clothes
Looking into connections between autobiographical memory and clothing, linking art and science through research and material investigation.
