BLOG CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF ELSIE'S LONELINESS FOLLOWING THE BREAKDOWN OF HER RELATIONSHIP.
'BEACH' IS PART OF THE WOMANHOOD SERIES, EXPLORING NATURAL STATES OF BEING. GREAT EMOTIONAL DEPTH IS CONVEYED WITHIN THE POETRY (HAND EMBROIDERED IN SILK THREADS), PROVIDING A RHYTHM TO THE SEA, MUCH LIKE THE CRESTS OF WAVES BREAKING IN THE DISTANCE. A HIGHLY TEXTURAL CREATION, WITH OLD CRUSHED VELVET, ENDORSED WITH SEQUINS GLINTING IN THE LIGHT, THE DEPTH OF THE KNAPP DESCRIBING THE SAND BEAUTIFULLY. AND A BLACK LACE PANEL EVOKES THE SEAWEED I USED TO COLLECT FROM ROCK POOLS AS A CHILD, WITH OLD BUTTONS AND MOTHER OF PEARL ENDORSING THE SAND BARS BETWEEN A SIMPLE STRUCTURAL LAYOUT.
PRINTS PROVIDE A DETAILED DIALOGUE OF THE ORIGINAL TEXTILE.
