Great to see
lace featured in the latest issue of ‘Be Creative Workbox’ magazine. One of Louise
West’s beautiful lace wire cylinders is shown as a full page image in the
Gallery section, and there is an article by Eileen Anderson about the ISIS Lacemakers’
group entry for last year’s Waddesdon manor lace exhibition. It also includes
my article on subversive stitching, which features my ‘get off me’ mat (shown
in the image above) as well as several of my net curtains and the virtual
sampler. Of course the idea of the subversive stitch comes from Rozsika Parker’s
brilliant feminist book that discusses how stitching was used to define the
feminine and how women have since subverted it to comment on women’s issues and
the domestic – something I continue in my practice.
