Installation at 54 The Gallery
In this piece, originally a site specific
work created for a three
storey flour mill, chains of lace tatting run like threads throughout the building. The form of the
suspended shuttle suggests a trajectory downwards through the space, a sense of
the needle piercing cloth, the transition of memory being passed down. Textiles
are often evocative of memory, inheritance, passing down experience through
generations. In this video installation, a tatting lesson is taking place
between the artist and her grandmother among the sensitive chains of lace,
white like flour, blossom or snowflakes falling.
Camera Obscura photographs on Llallwni Mountain
The box is designed as a
perfect volume of space for carrying, containing and protecting. Converted into
a portable camera obscura, and fitted with a digital camera, the box is used as
a means to view the outside world differently, creating a dialogue between
external and internal space. Rugged Welsh landscapes as seen through this ethereal lens provoke alternative ways of looking at material
presence. There is beauty in the austerity of the Welsh moorland and the confluence
of nature and industry. The camera obscura gives heightened depth of field and
a dreamlike quality to the photographs.
