They are the cloud shield

The shelter and the guard

A double and repeated love

A dual and duplicated love 

Unreplicated 

Through brightest star 

split broken 

fractured pierce

Radiating in waves 

loves loves 

again again

They are the cloud shield 

and motivation base point 

Without repetition or reflection 

They are the cover 

material

going unused and foraged: hotel bedding, silks from bridal waste off cuts, surplus, faulty, leftover sewing threads, using up all that we have left

botanical colour

smokey chartreuse hues from hand collected Ragwort ( Warwickshire ) dyed to exhaust the vat across several weights of silk

surface

split seams, heart lace cut outs, fine draped silk panels, embroidered stripe

forms

papery suspended hearts accumulated, loose informal gathers, fractured lapping hems, freefalling ties, overlaid double collars, triangular cut-outs
