Artwork Description:

Abstract creation exploring The Poor Laws protecting children. Original poetry capturing my own happy childhood, hand embroidered in silk threads, marks a stark contrast to those who have no Santa or Tooth Fairy. In a sombre colour palette of red, grey, gold and black. Various techniques were explored in the distressing of fabrics to express a range of abuses children are subjected to. From The Childhood Nostalgia range
