Handmade Soft Play

Activity: Participating in or organising an event typesFestival/Exhibition/Concert

I began a collaborative practice working with my Mum and my infant daughter. We explored overlaps between childcare, making, and different sources of skill and knowledge across generations. It imagines new possibilities for activating different experiences and circumstances as sites for artistic making.

A series of textile sculptures were the result of this project. They bring together references to traditional patchwork and quilting techniques; participatory sculpture from the mid twentieth century; and sensory and soft play equipment. They are made to be explored and played with.

The sculptures were exhibited in Lancaster Library.
