Holding the Space

An exploration of absence, grief and loss through handmade textile objects, performance, and photography ​

Materials: Inkjet print mounted on Dibond
Dimensions: 900 x 600 mm


This project uses handmade craft practices, performance, and photography to explore the emotional experiences of absence, loss, and grief. Stitching, quilting, knitting, and crochet are used to make embodied wearable objects, to convey emotions that result from being estranged from a loved one. Methodologies that prioritise feeling and listening are employed during the making process, positioning this project within a contemporary feminist political enquiry
