Yellow

Fabric book with photographic weaving

Yellow was created by using my personal archive of film photos, trawling through hundreds of photos to find images that contained the colour yellow. The embroidery on the cover encompasses the intention behind the work, to find ‘light’ – visually captured by the colour yellow – in places and memories where I had not seen it before. The work reflects a journey of recovery, a re-weaving of memories and the past to create something new and brighter. This piece is tactile, the fabric pages inviting touch in a way that’s reminiscent of children’s board books, a way of reconfiguring notions of memory and growth.
