A Knitting Exhibition

A Mingled Yarn

 

This is the poster for my exhibition at Tivoli.  

These are some knittings made from magazine features showing accessories and makeup. 

Makeup has a sense of theatre which is irresistible.  Even the word 'makeup' shows

that what it achieves cannot be real, just an illusion.  What is a 'madeup' person?

 

 

'A Mingled Yarn' will be showing at Tivoli, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland from

6th September 2014

Two Great Uncles from the First World War

 

Archie Studd & Felix Alexander

Here is a photograph of my two Great Uncles who died in the First World War.

Archie Studd was a Private in the London Regiment (London Scottish) and died on the first of July 1916 in the battle of Gommecourt he was 26.  Felix Alexander was a Private in the Northumberland

Fusiliers, Norfolk Regiment and died on the 14th of November 1916, he was only 20.  They are both remembered on the Thiepval Memorial.

Both my Grandparents spoke of them - they have always been remembered.

Archie is on the left and Felix on the right

they are shown here with a white poppy for peace.

Knitting for Exhibition at Tivoli

A Mingled Yarn

 

 

This work is going into an exhibition called 'A Mingled Yarn' at Tivoli, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland.  It is part of a collection of knitted art associated with clothing which I have been making for quite a few years.  This particular work is taken from a selection of swimwear which - although difficult to date - was referenced from the 1980s.  I have a particular love of magazine spreads and old magazines are a great source of material for my work.  It will be on view from early September until October 2014.
