works on diverse surfaces - exploring stitch
SOLD.
artist statement
The words represent a resilient voice quietly and resolutely spoken. Clearly and transparently written - of her hand like words in a diary, personal yet publicly shared. Reflections, thoughts, beliefs. Stitched in red - like a pen dipped in blood. The transparent medium is a purposeful decision. Loose threads reflect life - messy and real. Stitching is a slow methodical, immersive process. It has a perceived permanence, a commitment of its use as a medium. It matters. Words matter. The substrate is from the everyday, accessible, commonplace, domestic. It serves to reflect and carry the message that equality and access should be the norm for all. Just as we start each day with breakfast, we all should be equal under the law. 2019 maunsell wickes gallery, paddington NSW |
