Lace Memories
‘Lace Memories’ is an installation of 100 hand-made felt and lace images. These are beautiful, gentle, vibrant and dark pieces, both unique and personal, and an acknowledgement of the human expression in body and mind. Some of the pieces depict physical scars such as from major surgery or self-harm: others depict memories of psychological or emotional hurt. The installation is an acknowledgement, an affirmation, a space for expression and hope: it plays with the concept of sorrow and joy as two sides of the same expression of the heart
The pieces are displayed on a domestic washing line, ‘grounded’ with hand-made old-fashioned wooden props, and evoke the compassion and peace symbolised by prayer flags. The installation can be displayed indoors and outdoors: with the accompanying breeze to create a dynamic element to the visual display. This is an immersive installation, in which the ‘participant’ is invited to walk through the ‘washing lines’ and become literally engulfed in it.
