The Shuttle Sail / 2025
Raw silk woven fabric, Wood
80 x 110 cm

Transformed from a traditional weaving shuttle into the handwoven sails of a childhood toy-boat. This constructed piece evokes memories of 'play' and captures how tools of artisan crafts can invite more intimate and nostalgic responses when we take the time to look at them through the eyes of childlike wonder.
