loss reverence and longing

Currently working towards finishing installation piece for ‘loss reverence and longing’ at Wagga Wagga City Gallery.  This exhibition is part of the centenary commemorations of
the ANZAC story.  My contribution is called ‘absence’ and is four x 4 metre length panels
of gauze field bandage with cigarette cards sandwiched between the layers and stitched. The sculpture sits in front of the panels.

last week I took my sewing machine into the life studio – usually i draw directly onto canvas or linen and then stitch – on thursday I stitched directly onto the canvas – trying to capture movement and feeling – the colour is watered down acrylic applied to the back of the canvas  This is the result after several more hours of stitching.
