The series of artworks explore a similar aesthetic with variants in colours, stiches and textures. Materials include thread that I have been given a long time ago and recently. It has a collective history of the women who have donated these materials. This is the last edition that I will be making as an ode to women who have stood with me. They have supported me through difficult times, and I now feel a sense of independence as a result of the generosity of support. This body of work feels like it is at a stage of transition. Certain features of the person referenced has been included to allude to the identity of the person and more so to capture their personality. A key feature in the stitches is the bull knot which for me is a symbol of a stitch that stands on its own and also stands out. They are solid and grounded and represent women both as the individual and the collective.
