Victoria College of Art - where the Mark Makers are presently having their first public exhibition.
In the Drafting Studio, first on the right.
I will be taking my turn sitting the exhibition tomorrow.
Lots of people have been visiting so it will be busy.
This is the first time 'Hemoglobin: Chlorophyll II' has been out of my studio.
The artist statement:
How many breaths has this well-worn, opened-out pillow case absorbed?
Capillaries, veins and arteries make up the lungs of our planet. The sister molecules, hemoglobin and chlorophyll, the red and green, are responsible for the rhythm of our lives.
Familiar, used domestic linens allow me to communicate without the need for translation, to reach across time, and to honour the often anonymous original makers.
Domestic linens were dyed red or green, strip pieced, then the motifs free-motion machine stitched.
