Plaits (Time)

This is about the passage of time, growth, loss. The cut hair, representing the time passed in growing up is tied with ribbons found in my grandmother's box- some of them I had worn as a child and some my own daughters had worn whilst growing up. They're stitched with things that my grandmother said to me, or rhymes we used to sing when I was a child and which were used in the childhood games played by many different generations of women.
