Refugees: Working Together To Create A Sense Of Place
Textile Sculpture
50cm diameter
Jane's artwork is inspired by a recent story from a Palestinian refugee camp:
A group of women came together to sew and began to share unique embroidery stitches from their own villages. Together they created a new embroidery pattern encompassing all of these stitches, representing their combined knowledge, skills and heritage. The resulting textile piece shared their new found sense of place and belonging.
The abstract textile sculpture visualises the idea of individuals coming together with their own set of skills and mind set and through the process of working together create their own sense of place.
