Coalescence

Coalescence is a construction of teaching samples and studies for completed pieces which showcase a diverse range of techniques and explorations. Each piece is distinguished by additional stitching that leaves a distinctive footprint on the back, adding a unique element to the artwork's structure. By including self-portraits, I pay tribute to Audrey Walker, who was known for her stitched portraiture. This homage highlights the inspiration drawn from Audrey's legacy and influence, whilst also highlighting the personal and introspective nature of artistic expression. This blend of teaching, experimentation, and tribute encapsulates my creative journey.
