slow stitched scroll project

Remembering my Mum and my maternal Grandmother. Stitching a story and connecting ancestral threads. A spark of me was inside my mother when my mother was inside her mother. My Mum taught me to stitch when I was little.

I'm making an ancestral slowstitched scroll inspired by an essay I wrote called 'Lost Birds', which I wrote a few weeks after she passed on four years ago yesterday. My own writing haunts me. A reminder that some works are never finished. Need multiple iterations to reveal layers, more stories and secrets. I'm grateful for different methodologies. Stitching is a language.
