Photo Scanned Envelope Printed onto Silk.

from ‘Printed Luxury’

The photocopied image of gloves on silk is a striking image that is reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionism movement. This helps the work to be more contemporary as contributed by how the silk material ripples in the breeze.

Behind the hap frame in "they are containers of fluidity" is hung a lithography print of a 35mm film photograph. This makes up the performative gesture of the work titled “pegging down their lace”. The lithography print is made of four coloured layers (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create a full colour image. It retains the quality of the original film photograph. The white paper is pinned at the four corners with sewing pins into cork behind. The image itself is set amongst the mossy, loch edge in the Kilpatrick hills, just outside Glasgow. The blue ripples of loch Humphrey are just visible on the top edge of the image. Two young, white hands touch the knitting and steel knitting needles – pinning it out on the grass and moss. Small moss sporophytes peek through some holes in the lace. There is a gentle light settled across the photo and small shadows of the knitting needles are cast on the hand closest to the foreground.

On the smallest wall, to the left of this print, is another lithograph. This one is far, far smaller in comparison and depicts the whole lace piece lying amongst some grassy tussocks. The white of the lace piece glows and floats.

from “pegging down their lace”

In the right-hand corner sits a wooden chair. It is made of a variety of woods, carefully pieced together and oiled. It sits fairly low to the ground and has a wide, deep seat. The back is made in a lattice formation, and on the support beams below the seat a quilt is draped. The quilt is a scrap block that uses leftovers from all the other naturally dyed objects within the installation. The three layers have been sewn together and bound, and it now lies folded, almost touching the floor.

from “they are containers of fluidity”

A quilt frame made of oak, cherry, and iroko wood stands in the space. The sturdy and delicate wooden structure has been sanded, oiled, and waxed so it is smooth and sumptuous to the touch. It has two legs with decoratively detailed feet. On one end it has two wooden cogs which help turn the beams and the quilt. A quilting frame is somewhat like a hollow table, with moving parts, to allow a quilt to be stretched across its limbs. Upon this frame a naturally dyed quilt is stretched.
