Everything is better now

I began working on the bodice of this piece first, and deliberately set out combine Polish and Welsh embroidered motifs together. Layering wire over metal sheet interested me here, as it was a device both for joining and interpreting the application of pattern. The making of the piece was interrupted by a commission so when I returned to it I further developed the rhythmic lines with emerging flowers, which can be seen in the 'Healing Apron'.
