Emerging Series

In my Emerging Series I continue to explore the expressive nature of thread and the embroidered line. I am experimenting with alternative ways of working that bring the thread drawings off their supporting structures of paper or fabric. I am continuing to explore the use of preloved and used table linen and its implied reflective narrative. I wish to portray women emerging from the confines, of their contexts and structures and becoming free of their restrictions whilst maintaining aspects of their histories, traditions, culture which are interwoven. This political act of emerging resonates strongly with my own personal journey.
