The Infinite Idea

Detail from my work inspired by  The infinite Idea

I am back in the studio after a busy week at the Knit and Stitch Show.  It has made me eager to get on with some work.   I have been asked to join with a Conceptual art project called theinfiniteidea@theinfiniteidea.   It is the inspiration of conceptional artist Jane Orange.   She has created an installation at Neoartists Gallery (follow the link above to see her work) involving twelve eggs.   She has appoached twelve artists to respond to her installation in whatever medium they work in.  It has got my creative juices thinking again and I was pleased to be asked to join in and stand along so called "fine artwork".   It is a bugbear of mine that textiles are considered as craft rather than pieces of art and I hope to break down these barriers which have already begun to fall.  Grayson Perry has helped build up the interest and standing of textiles with his ventures into tapestry.

I am thinking of doing a series of twelve pieces in response.
