MA Work - Touching Absence

In 2018 I studied part-time for a Master of Arts in Textiles at UCA Farnham. That same year my late husband David was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. In 2019 that was revised to Lewy Body Disease.

​

Touching Absence is my way of interpreting in cloth and stitch the effect David's diagnosis had on myself and our relationship.

​

All fabrics, including wool, cotton, linen, silk and mixed natural fibres were hand dyed by me using natural dyes. Pieces 1 - 3 were handstitched. All other pieces were machine pieced and machine quilted where appropriate.

​

I was awarded the degree with Merit.
