Hi and welcome to my blog! I would be very happy for comments to be posted here.
The themes I explore in my work are: family, relationships within families, shared space, history and identity. I make installations using second hand clothes which I stitch together by hand. It is important to me to do the stitching by hand because it is a very time consuming and feminine activity, maintaining and running a family is a very time consuming job! We are all more or less 'stitced' and tied to our family. The materials I use are very much chosen because of the easy access to them. Having a family myself restrict me in some ways, and I have learned to work with this restriction by choosing materials I already have in the house. It is my wedding anniversary today so I will go and spend some time with hubby, will post pictures tomorrow!
