Russian Mat

One of the small collages (7 more in this series) I made to go with the Russian Mat as part of the Displacement Aesthetics project at The Whitworth Art Gallery  and part of the exhibition now up 'Threads of Displacement'.

It has been an emotional  journey revisiting my piles of faded photocopies but all feel 'right' in context of the project. I hadn't been into the little boxes of letters/ printing pads since the Dark Room installation, and it was somehow comforting to make out the names of the cities all these wonderful women would have visited.

All made more poignant by the fact it was International Womens Day the week show opened.
