My work is about looking at the importance of household artefacts and family professions, in uncovering childhood memories and family history.
I have been reflecting on my grandparents, who fled Poland in the early 1900’s, to settle in the East End of London, where they set up a tailors workshop. Looking too at my father’s profession as a women’s hairdresser, I have been creating tailoring and hairdressing ‘objects’, both real and imaginary, through sewn paper constructions, and amalgamated workshop and hairdressers tools.
I am showing work in:
‘Unearthed’ Exhibition
House Mill Gallery
Three Mills Lane
London E3 3DU
From 9 -13 October 2019
