What I've been up to...

7/16/2020

0 Comments

 
These are some pieces that are continuing my  'Interpretation of Lace', a body of work I'm exploring with my Masters. This is a small extract from my project abstract:-
"Utilising the concepts of ‘edgings’ symbolically to address the broader themes of identity, gender and the feminine within the marginalisation’s of textile’s in contemporary art, referencing the gender associations of textiles and its connections with women and domesticity..."

On a lighter note, I've also been making and stocking up on my brooches, bookmarks and key rings which I sell at various stockists throughout the Wirral and at venues that invite me to be guest speaker.

It's been a while!!!

Sorry that my news feed has been a bit slow recently. Due to Covid 19, all of my exhibitions, talks and workshops have come to a grinding halt. Of course this is completely necessary and perfectly understandable. The priority is for everyone to keep safe and well.

Once we are all out of the woods and the social distancing restrictions are lifted, things will commence as normal. As for now if you have a workshop booked with me then it will be postponed until further notice. 

Unfortunately the Wirral Open Studios Tour has also been cancelled this year, but we will be back in 2021 with added enthusiasm to see you all and welcome you into our studios.

I am continuing to produce work in isolation in my studio and am keeping myself busy with my Masters course as well as spending a lot of time gardening due to this fantastic weather we are having, so, plenty to keep me occupied. I hope you are all keeping yourselves busy too and creating lots of beautiful things.

I will keep everyone posted about forth coming events as and when we have more information concerning the lockdown and when the restrictions will be lifted etc.

​Meanwhile, I wish everyone the very best, keep safe and well and look after each other.
