The meaning of things...

8/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Recently I had the opportunity to contribute to this great online exhibition , The Meaning of Things by Craft Victoria.
In The Meaning of Things, Craft presents a vibrant cabinet of curiosities showcasing eclectic objects and artworks from makers’ personal collections. Accompanying stories share a glimpse into each object’s significance. 
​Exploring objects as vessels of emotion and meaning, The Meaning of Things presents pieces that are either handcrafted or connected to handmade practice. Objects include treasured pieces, much loved tools, found objects by unknown makers, family heirlooms and gifts from fellow makers!


In case you missed it, haven't seen it yet , here is the link ( below)

I submitted my grandmother's cup and a piece of embroidery made by my mum Myrtle Grace. You can check out my contribution  from this link : Grandmother's cup or click the image above.

She said, “ We often look but do not see. You look at the creative child and find only your own annoyance and frustration . That creative, seeing eye pierces through heart and soul, and finds secrets and promise that looking can’t detect... To move on we need to see.”

    About this blog

    many roads...                           ...on the journey words follow me,                              push me forward,                  and sometimes, overtake me.

    This is my attempt to map them, And navigate my way through meaning.
    Lenni M-K

    This blog is about my creative process, ideas and inspiration for new work, projects that I am working on, cool things that other artists are doing, ideas about memory and identity that I am trying to make sense of. Stop by to share the creative journey and say hi!
