2022: ‘ON SKIN’ A collaborative project with artist and curator Yuko Edwards called ‘ON SKIN’.
Together we produced a hand stitched quilt which was exhibited at Bricks Bristol in January. (The quilt represented the bones of the human body, the skeleton. We invited participants to attend workshops at Bricks Bristol where, with guidance, people sutured/stitched their own wounds and scars using layers of fabric which they then pinned to the quilt). The quilt was then selected to be shown for an exhibition at Somerset House in London entitled Eternally Yours: An exhibition about Care, Repair and Healing: which ran from June – September (2022). The quilt then travelled to Studio Kind in North Devon later that year (Nov) for a solo show of Yuko’s work.
