Weaver’s Gallery, Ledbury, October 2013

My work became a realisation of the uselessness of one. Stitches only function in multitudes. There is strength in numbers. Aristotle’s words “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” became a motto while constructing pieces, and eventually clothing, from left over scraps from other projects, and the fragments that would otherwise have been thrown away. We are more than just the parts you see, we affect people, and are affected by people all the time. We are stronger together. The stitching has become a metaphor.
