About the art
Artist statement
Gathering Dust I engages in the act of making, re-making and reassembling elements, emphasising their rich histories, sentiment and potential for transformation.
The work is created almost wholly from domestic waste – post consumer garments, yarn, wire, fibres, ribbon, packaging materials, cushion stuffing, doilies, tablecloths, fragments of household detritus. Those materials have been de-constructed and re-interpreted using techniques grounded in my textile practice – coiling, spinning, felting, shredding, carding, quilting and embroidery.
Revelling in the gesture and intention of each stitch I explore the aesthetics of abstraction; elevating the materials and seeking to take abstraction to its conclusion – the abstraction of materiality.
Presented on professional grade stretcher frame and ready to hang.
