Textile artist Michele Walker uses quilting techniques as a metaphor for the complex social and personal histories which make up the fabric of our lives.
Maker Unknown, her new commission for Fabrica, is a haunting sculptural installation, developed in response to her interest in sashiko - a quilting technique associated with women in the rural industries of Japan.
Memorium, a plastic and wire wool quilt stitched in the pattern of her own skin, evolved from the bittersweet memories of her mother's mental decline.
Memory Sticks is an inspiring, multi-layered exhibition which investigates the historical and contemporary contexts of our cultural identities.
Open Wednesday-Saturday 11.30am-5pm, Sunday 2pm-5pm, closed Monday and Tuesday. Free, call 01273 709709.
