"Out of the box"
A finished piece ( the night before the exhibition)!
Mixed media.
Machine and hand embroidery on hand made paper and fabric.
The story of how women can break out of the box - either the box imposed by society or the box of their own choosing.
This piece has a complex story in that it was not intended as a stand alone item, but rather as a transition piece which moves the story of women's loss of identity and confinement out of the area I have recently concentrated on.
I have moved from the shrouded androgynous figures of late on to a more gender specific image and I have allied it with some references to where I hope to be going with the series in the future.
It's rather unlike anything I've done recently but it's been satisfying ( if flawed ) piece.
About three foot square.
This will form part of the "Adhesion" exhibition which opens at the Weavers Gallery, Ledbury, Herefordshire tomorrow.
