'Insomnia' Wearable Art Cloth (2023)
Creative potential and the dichotomy of insomnia is painfully familiar to many artists. Arboreal nocturnal mystery, the silver of the moonlight – a subtle metaphor of reflection and revelation within this liminal realm. Complex inspirations reference Japanese woodblock, Edo period folding screens, melancholic, visually and intellectually arresting cinema of Tarkovsky and the values of Ruskin’s oeuvre. Hidden labour and the beauty of handcrafting form a unique language and versatile applications.
