1000 Pricks: Hardwick

By  Vicki Cooke 2016
From a series of works looking at historical craftwomen, as part of a collaborative project with Maidstone Museum to highlight the work by women in their collection. The images are made up of pin-pricks, inspired by a brief craze for making such drawings in the late 1700s.
