FRAYING A LITTLE, 2018

Scrim fabric, black thread (60 cm x 40cm)

All our stories are somewhat tattered and shredded

Twisting dreams unravel the seams

Of the cloth binding esteem

In a tangled up mind

And lives living within

The pierced heart

And the tattooed on skin

With knitted needles of stories

And coiled up woes

Of finding and losing and hiding of treasured troves

So I'm fraying a little it seems

Unravelling just at the seams...

This piece followed experiments made with scrim fabric: fraying, thread pulling and coating in coloured wax.
