These machine lace pieces are a continuation of the meandering from my ink and water video, but also take inspiration from the wonderful, cracks and lines, in Block III with artists Denise Kehoe and Sarah Misselbrook.
The samples are a more symbolic, exploration of blood using a vibrant red thread. The work could be made more gelatinous and blood-like through the use of latex or acrylic gels. RG

Not sure if your aware but, there’s an Indian film that is being released called Padman which, tells the true story of a guy in India who fought against taboos to create a way for women to make their own sanitary towels in remote rural areas. India is an extremely patriarchal society and issues of women’s health are pushed into the background so you can imagine the uproar around this film.

I regularly host artists, musicians and volunteers here on the farm and often women ask for emergency supplies, until they can get to the supermarket. Having recently discovered 'Hey Girls', I now have a supply in stock here of these sanitary products, knowing that for every purchase a box is sent out to a woman who is in period poverty.
