Strands of thread link the pieces
Joining, and leaving space
for movement: to attune, to ease in the water
There is a film of this work on show too – in my mind’s eye it was always drifting in the sea – in the liminal space – filmed at tide turns, dusk and moonrise…
At the end of the film, moonrise
2 women, quietly rinsing a cloth
Standing in the sea
Walking the shoreline
Tide turn – the space between
Rhythm of waves flowing….
Rhythm of breath, meditation
Dawn and dusk, stitching in early morning
The pause, stilling…..
Rhythm of stitch
The embroidered buttonhole wheels are complete thoughts
Others fragmented, partially formed
The seed beads
Those are the shells, stones, tiny claws
Found objects catching my gaze, mixed on the shoreline
detail of stitched piece..

In memory of my Aunt – Rosemary
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
(traditional gaelic blessing)
