.. this mixed media piece was created from derelict teacups, fused into organza with heat and tied with thin but tough wire and made as a reference to the wonderful, older and through adversity stronger women in our family, although often overlooked by todays cultural slant towards youth and who I
felt the need to acknowledge their hidden qualities and strengths.
 |
| to me it seemed as these smashed cups had some stories to tell.... |
 |
| more crockery, this time sawn apart from a loved aunts house, I wanted to see what the fragments would look like if more uniformly cut but decided they were not as interesting |
 |
| for one of the many samples I embedded the pieces into clay, the tags represent teabags and the conversations that accompanied them. I did not choose to further sample along these lines but find that 'embedding' with a slight reveal of itthe item now seems to often pop up in my work |
this is one of the pieces I'll be taking along to the Knitting & Stitch show this November in Harrogate, come along and say hello!
