Flight of Fantasy

These beauties are part of my installation for Flight of Fancy (If women called the shots).

Come to our Flight exhibition in Balmain, Sydney (15th - 23rd August 2015) to see it in its entirety.

Liberate, Renovate, Celebrate

I began looking at ‘domestic cloths’ - embroidered tray covers, table runners and special hand towels - when I was clearing out my mothers’ house. They were made to celebrate a ‘best’ event. They are a tribute to ‘femininity’ – both in the process of their creation, and in the appreciation of the observer. I am liberating these domestic cloths from the back of the bottom drawer, renovating them with creative techniques and elevating them to the wall, to be enjoyed on a daily basis. By working with these items I am ultimately celebrating the femininity in the lives of the original makers.
