Statement
Like a piece of fabric, a written or spoken story may be
spun, woven, knitted, quilted, sewn, or pieced together. We talk
about the ‘fabric’ of society when characterising our collective
ideas. Our thoughts and emotions can ‘unravel’, ‘tangle’, or
‘fray’. Harrison and Young (2008, p.12) A renewed engagement with
the cathartic side of the practice has resulted in a
reconsideration of the relationship with the viewer. A possibility
to manipulate the viewer by directing them within the confines of
an installation and the use of wool as a medium furthermore enables
the viewer to question the work. Feminine or Feminist?
