Memory Stones (soft)

I needed to make my own memory stones that I could hold. Each stitch brings with it the opportunity to gently probe and examine the wound of grief.

I have used soft, delicate and gentle materials because the subject is sensitive; I like to protect myself by using materials that will cushion the blow when I come up against difficult memories.

Together with Urn, this work later became part of performance piece The Scattering.
