Lace Memories (Created during the lockdown)
‘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 where there is hope.
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.
