Update: Teapot Textiles

Away from the computer screen I have been working away on these decorative shoes. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. My inspiration for the work was Tracy Emin's quilts, I love how she uses primative stitching to tell a very personal story. These are ballet shoes which I have worn untill they are completly exhausted, the decorative stitching gives them a new lease of life and a new purpose, They are now art.




The Love/Hate design explains my passion for dancing, I adore it but it bloody hurts !!! The abstract design explores the energy of a final performance, how the pain is forgotten and all you have is electricity.
