Memory and Time. The Invisible Line.

My research has led me to discover such artists as Sophie Calle who's work reflects the idea of the detachment of places and people and how this progresses over time. My work currently concerns the exploration into the time and how it is portrayed as an invisible movement that leaves traces to ark the happenings and experiences of our lives. By working across disciplines such as stitch and film, my intention has been  to create a multi sensory experience playing upon the ideas of materiality and process. Both these elements have underpinned to making of the invisible panels, each are hand stitched with multiple linear stitches of invisible thread within the centre of the fabric. The concept of the invisible line as a trace is reflected through both the materiality and process to which they have each been made. The stitched invisible panels were made in response to the Paris brief, with the intention of them being an installation to be shown at L'aiguille en fete. The delicacy of the material was very important in order to portray the shadows of the lines. Also for the work to express fluidity in the way they move as people passed by causing the liner stitches to catch the light and gently flow in movemrnt.
