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.

Exhibition Images
My sketchbook and some antique treasures in the showcase....the needlecase belonged to my mother,and is made from blue kid leather with pages of cream wool.
it has a little christian poem cut from a magazine wrapped in celophane paper and pinned inside the cover....it has always been there and must have acted as an encouragement to her...mother's name was Jessie Betsy.
