About The Artwork
I made this artwork in response to a comment an artist made to me when she heard that I use embroidery in my art practice. 'Ah, sweet', she responded. Using and subverting the sampler tradition, I wanted to show that embroidery is used by many fine artists to deal with issues that are far from 'sweet', and they choose this soft medium, associated with women, to talk about hard, difficult experiences. I hope the viewer sees both the humour and the serious elements in this piece.

United Kingdom
I work in a mixture of ceramics and fabric/embroidery, both mediums traditionally associated with women and the home and both considered secondary to the fine art mediums of painting and sculpture. I love the tactile, textured quality of these materials and enjoy pushing the boundaries of what is possible using these mediums. My work is about the public/private self and is influenced by the literature of Virginia Woolf. I am currently working on a large installation, ' Kitchen', which develops this idea and explores the world of a middle aged woman contemplating her life.
