I’m influenced by history, the uncelebrated crafts of women in the past such as quilting, weaving and folk art. This piece is inspired by the unspoken human stories that are hidden in graveyards. Most of us pass one every day without giving much thought to what’s within: the architectural beauty, the wildlife and of course all the forgotten people who rest there with their colourful pasts and fascinating tales just waiting to be told.
For every piece of work I make, my papers are hand-printed on my Gelli plate at home. Each paper has been carefully considered for the project I am working on and is entirely unique and cannot be re-created due to the mono print nature of Gelli-printing.
