Maternal Matter
David M. Thomas

1. Your new-found love of wool and weaving is pretty exciting. There's so much to look at but also through. Like your collages there seems to be this reliance on outlines and block colouring, a phasing out of detail. These gaps and hollows between the strings and shapes make me think of guitar strings but also zooming in on clothing, couches and old school speakers, probably because you’ve also worked directly onto old school speakers and play the guitar. Is this ‘floating’ and heightened permeability of your weaving for this show a response to the room divider? Or are there other motivations at play?
