Drawing on historical objects of affection such as lover’s eye jewellery and Swedish courting gifts from the 18th and 19th centuries — often decorated tools for textile care and production — this work examines the essence of the love object from a contemporary perspective
Surface design is explored by combining digital print and felting, producing surfaces that are both visually engaging and tactile, inviting close looking and touch. More broadly, the work reflects on intimate space and the work of attention: that which we offer to one another, and to the objects we hold dear.
