OF FIBRE AND LIFE... Bits and pieces of cloth sewn or glued together curtain the world. Bits and pieces of knowledge skillfully intertwined make up the study of history. Every civilization has this tradition of squirreling away precious fragments untill they are needed to create a whole. Works of art,especially in the 20th century are often nothing more than ordered fragmentations- with each fragment carrying it's own cultural load.

David Lam Photoshoot, Brochure Image
David has captured the essence of my work exactly in this image from the photoshoot, and I am really pleased with it. I will have to photograph the rest of the collection myself, and at present am working on backgrounds for them. I have a wonderful old screen which, on the reverse side is very tattered and torn...it is also dark in colour, so may be the answer for the dresses. The bolero and collar would benefit from a distressed wooden ground, and could be laid flat....if the wood was large enough, say door size, it might be best for the whole collection....we shall see. As there are only four weeks to go, and this will necesitate moving all the furniture in the sitting room, I had better watch the weather forcast for an early morning on a sunny day....and then try the same in the evening when the sun is in comming in from the opposite direction.
