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.
