Plimsolls

Dimensions
30cm x 20cm x 10cm

The plimsolls belong to my eldest daughter, Honey. She loved them and wore them until the soles were almost worn through. On coming back from a holiday with her friends this summer she declared they were “done”. She was full of stories about the holiday and the plimsolls became a vehicle for the stories to be told. The work came from wanting to capture that moment of her life as a physical memory.
