Microbial
Cushions
|
The three
microbial cushions were designed and produced for the One Rock exhibition
at Welfare State International in December 2003. This local exhibition
involved looking at the ecology and mythology of a rock in Morecambe
Bay. I used my scientific background to create designs based on the
ultrastructure of a bacterium and algae. |
Pier
on Fire
|
This picture was created
to illustrate the damage of a pier by fire. I used a technique learnt
from Kate of Kate's Kloths, Blyth in which I trapped a variety of
fabrics between organza and calico and then embellished with threads
and stitches. I then used free machine embroidery on cold water soluble
fabric to produce the pier. |
Pier
in a Storm
|
This picture was created
in a similar way to the Pier on Fire and was designed to show part
of the pier ravaged by storm. |
Family
History Wall Hanging
|
This wall hanging was
created to help draw people's attention to the story-gathering phase
in the Longline project at Welfare State International. I have illustrated
6 brief stories which are from each of 6 generations of my family
who live or lives in or around Morecambe Bay. It illustrates some
of the industries that they have worked in and some of the leisure
pursuits. I laminated the stories and accompanying information and
sewed this directly onto the wall hanging. |
