Patchwork

In this series, I have explored our relationship with material, testing the boundaries of what patchwork quilting can be and has become since the 16th Century. Using wax, I have preserved its form, using it as an archival device of historical and cultural influence. This process has made them unusable for traditional purpose. In doing this I have challenged the domestication and narration used in patchwork, as well as explored the role of women through looking at the maker.
