Making and Remembering

I was in London again this week, looking at an MA at The Institute of Education, and while I was there I called into The British Museum. I love the way that a museum can re-inspire me with an object from the past or another culture.This time I was soon excited again at the thought of getting going with my wearable pieces, adapted from clothing and adorned with finds, words and images from my walks and travels.

In parallel with this other body related work, I’ve also started work on the Mencap commission, a piece of work that will be included in the ‘Dia de los Muertos’ exhibition I’ve mentioned elsewhere on this blog. I’m creating a celebration of my nephew Albert who died a few years ago, working onto a shirt with images and objects linked with Albert’s life; my memories of and relationship with him.
