Inspired by the book 'Mrs Wiggs and The Cabbage Patch' about a very poor family who maintains joy and optimism. 'In the mud and scum of things something always always sings' is a line from the book. The piece depicts an old victorian house, bursting to life with birds, bees and flowers. Showing us that in the most dour of times optimism and joy can always be found. Made using layers of cloth, paper, thread and gouache which have been attached to birch panel. The banner is finished in embroidery.

Within my work I use scrap fabric, which I cut, layer and paint with gouache to create textural and narrative pieces. Embroidery and paper is added. The result is a collage-like piece that creates a visual metaphor, connecting current events and human experiences. The use of textiles is intrinsic to my work. It allows me to connect with the viewer, as it appeals to their sense of nostalgia; it connects them to something that is in all our histories -- the handiwork, embroidery, quilts and other objects our grandmothers and great grandmothers made that were, in essence, art. My artwork has a strong humanitarian and narrative element. This ties into the storytelling aspect of the work. The work is inspired by vintage children’s book illustration and this, in combination with the traditional textile handicraft, references the haunting experience of sifting through our memories — poignant and evocative; difficult to ignore or forget.
