Although much of the new work I created for MYTHOMANIA was fabric-based (as described in my previous posts) I also created one of my more familiar large-scale sculptures for the exhibition. The curators had asked me to create a big […]
After my helmet sculpture was finished, I felt more confident about building more ‘soft sculpture’ designs. The next piece I created was a large eagle-shaped artwork. Unlike the helmet, which only had a few embroidered patches on its surface, the […]
