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.

The "Family Dress" went to a new home too
The organiser, and curator of the Sotheby's show is herself an art collector, so I was very happy for her to purchase the "Family Dress" from the collection. This was the one with my name on the brooch, and my own story in the accompanying booklet.
