found objects, acrylic and thread on canvas 75x60 2012
This is part of my walk mini-series. It is based on a
Sumerian map from the 13th century. It shows where I go on my morning walks.
Right in the middle of this piece is “our” from a 1970’s
sentence maker. Kids acquired words like this one and arranged sentences from a
long holder a bit like we use to make scrabble words. My mum taught infants
school for many years, and when she moved a few years ago she let me take a
whole set of sentence maker words away with me!
The shadowy building in the foreground of this work is
cut from a piece of plastic mosquito netting I picked up in Enmore on one of my walks.
I like the moiré patterns it creates when it folds against itself.
The pearls come from an old doll’s necklace.
