UNFOLDING EXHIBITION
Espacio Gallery, 14-19 May 2026
The pieces in the exhibition are inspired by unpacking an attic trunk containing clothes and textiles kept by my mother. Unfolding the baby clothes began the unfolding of memories: my parents early life together, their first house and a map of that area. My first memories are here, the railway bridge, the endless walk to the shops and waking in my cot. The work reflects the make-do-and-mend attitude following WW2, as in the
remnants of Czechoslovakian silk ties used to make a cot cover. Old blankets and fabrics have been used throughout the work in recollection of a post-war period.
