Today is Monday

Undoubtedly we live in the best country in the world, but does it have to be so far from everything?! Its a minimum 9 hour plane trip to get anywhere off our big island, and having just returned from my 5th Europe visit in a little over 1 and half years, the 30+ hour journey, and its subsequent jetlag, is not getting any easier.
My last day in Florence was heaven - the weather was a tolerable boiling, and the day unwrapped itself smoothly. We found a yarn store where I picked up some Italian wool for samples of my next Spring/Summer collection.

Its going to be a very exciting month

Sustainability remains at the forefront, with natural fibres, ethically sourced Thai silk from my travels last year, and upcycled fabrics from local op shops. Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

Veiled

VEILED - exploring the significance throughout time and culture.   Veils first appeared in ancient cultures as a form of protection from evil spirits. Its symbolism has changed over time, from status in society, to sign of innocence and propriety. While some view the veil as a way to divide god and men, biblically the veil is seen as access, unity and intimacy with the Divine. Besides its enduring religious significance, veiling continues to play a role in almost all cultures on the planet to this day. I've worn veils  throughout my life, all 3 of my weddings, religious ceremonies an aplenty of times for fun. Like this shoot with my girls (and self portraits on timer). And the significance of the rose.... that's for another time

Show at M|Arts

  My work was recently featured in the local Tweed Valley Weekly newspaper, shining a spotlight on my participation in the TAFE photography exhibition. The photo is from my series called "Veiled," where I explore the history and cultural significance of veils throughout time. Veils have been around for centuries, originally serving as practical garments to protect against the elements. But they've evolved into powerful symbols of modesty, purity, and even mystery in various cultures. In "Veiled," I delve into these layers of meaning, with my daughters and I as the subjects.
