I was thrilled to be invited to take part in fellow Fine Artist and craft enthusiast Charlie Snow's 'Dream Quilt Patchwork Project'. Relating strongly to my own current work, I felt the project captured the essence of traditional quilt making; ultimately, the coming together of different ideas, memories and experiences to create a snapshot of culture and society. The project asks contributors to create a patch representing a dream they have experienced - my patch below depicts a reoccurring dream of owning a vintage tea room, using appropriated bedding and padded appliqué.
The finished piece can be seen at the Northumbria BA (Hons) Fine Art Show, private view on June 14th 2012 and The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, private view 5th July 2012.
