For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .







''the use of traditional often time consuming process alludes to the devotion of a mother''. c K. A. Ruane 2007

the bad times.....(creatively that is)



I really had to share this with you.....bad times? watch the video and it will become clear...an old sketchbook, 2004..... a forgotten part of my journey to where I am now. I came across this last night after not having looked at it for years. I am glad I reacquainted myself with it....despite the negatives. I have another, similar one. Do you think you could bear to see that one too? Let me know.
