Layered Introversion 1. Plastic netting, recycled clothing, gauze, felt, cotton thread, pins. 22 x 20 cm 2017
The layered, hand-stitched ‘miniatures’, titled Layered
Introversion, are comprised of textural materials such
as plastic netting, shreds of delicate clothing, previously
painted on and used canvas, gauze and felt, and are
carefully placed together to form dense layers of mostly
monochrome colours with strong hints of orange in certain
places. This work echoes the private, quiet space of a shirt
pocket, that also has a bodily resonance. These objects can
fit or be hidden away in the personal, intimate space of a
pocket.
