Walking Blickling, Crocosmia Weave III

Random weave with handmade cordage

40cm x 27cm

Box frame in natural wood

Growing up a few miles from Blickling Hall in Norfolk, we would spend hours playing in the gardens and woods. This piece explores connection to place and nature through walking, rediscovering paths and lanes, and tracing past footsteps. The act of walking, of slowing down and paying attention is echoed in the making process. Crocosmia leaves gathered in late summer have been dried, split and made into a handmade cordage. The cordage is randomly woven, taking the ‘thread’ on a journey. The work also considers our relationship with nature, and the value we place on the materials we take and use every day.

What I want to visualise through my work is not an identity that has settled in one place but a record of my identity that cannot be defined and is being redefined and explored every moment. Through the undefinable creatures in my work, I want to record the image of myself that I portrayed at that moment —to be changed and redefined into another embodiment.
