Artist statement: "As a society, we are collectively subjected to an incessant focus on that which is unbearable. Global crises dominate the media and have a very real impact on the way we perceive the world we inhabit and our personal role in it. This collection of works utilises the repetition of action of wrapping, hammering and stitching found in silver-smithing and textile processes, to explore the material qualities of softness and subtlety. The outcome of this form of mark making inverts notions of the unbearable by ritualistically drawing attention to the small details of living ... writing, reading, time in nature... which makes the everyday not only bearable, but poetic.".Copyright of the artist.
