'John & George 2013 after John Hunter 1789' is slowly coming together....the wings are the latest challenge and, each time I finish a work in this vein, I think "never again will I use such tiny fragments"... but here I am, once again making another assemblage from layered fragments of needlework. Because it is these textiles, made lovingly and painstakingly by hand by anonymous others - from different eras, continents and cultures - that keeps my commitment to the process alive. For me, they still have so much to say.
