The work commissioned here continues to explore ideas around the histories formed by textiles., the journeys they take and the role they play in forming part of our collective and individual memories. Drawing on ideas of the 'fabric' of the building, a collection of circular and fragmented imprinted porcelain pieces, hint at cycles of life lived out in the house, at its' foundation as a hunting lodge and its' construction from stones retrieved from a former abbey. Fur and feathers, clothing references, the absence of lived in activity.
