Vessels 001 comes from a series of punch needle textile works exploring containment as both form and metaphor.
Created with locally sourced yarn from the Kent marshes, each piece is built through thousands of hand-formed loops, forming a sculptural, tactile surface.
Referencing vases, urns, and domestic receptacles, the work considers the historical and cultural relationship between women and textiles. Vessels hold, preserve, and transform; likewise, textile practices have long carried labour, memory, and care within their fibres.
From a distance, the forms appear bold and minimal. At close range, dense fields of loops reveal the accumulated time embedded in their making. Process becomes visible through texture and repetition.
Responding to The Invisible Made Visible, the series honours the quiet devotion of handwork, transforming yarn into objects that embody effort, continuity, and inherited knowledge.
