World Embroidery Day

To celebrate World Embroidery Day ,  I led a  small group of stitchers at Timeless Textiles Gallery embroidering recycled tea bags . There was a lot of laughter , shared conversations and  creative stitching      

Exuberance Exhibition and Book

  Sixteen contemporary Australian craft practitioners, designers and artists examine the concept of exuberance through colour, materiality and politics through hand stitch. Objects and wall pieces will reflect the current urge of re-engagement with nature and the politics. Using stitch as a metaphor of repair, care and protection that is required for the environment, often reflecting the ability of plant life to proliferate in weird and wonderful ways when given the opportunities. In psychology, exuberance denotes child-like displays of lack of inhibition, and this comes through many of the artists working on this project. Dates 1 Jul – 26 Aug 2023 at Craft + Design Gallery, London Circuit, Canberra, ACT  Some images of my work included in the book, Exuberance.
