There
has been one practitioner that has had a big influence on the work I have
recently developed, Laura Mccaferty’s work is also very illustrative and works similarly
to me using a mixture between screen printing, embroidery and appliqué. She finds inspiration from her travels around
the world as well as her life at home. I aim my work to be a form of preserving
the past, I feel this comes from some deep emotion in me from which I don’t want
to forget memories of my own family members. One idea was that this work could
be developed into a photo a album for kids with special needs, a tactile album
which they can hold, feel and play with. I need my work to be fun and playful
working with bright colours and textures so that they can feel the images. My
work tells the story of my family but using another families photos it can
tell the story of other families and can give those with special needs their
photos and memories which they can then too cherish.
Both images above are of work of Laura McCafferty.
