PROJECT BLOG
This project was made possible thanks to the generous funding of Arts Council England and the tremendous support of Yorkshire Sculpture Park, East Street Arts and Sunny Bank Mills.
The title Wrapped in Cold Hard Comfort and the work were born out of processing a period in my life that was incredibly challenging. I was in cycle of physical ill health which brought with it a cycle of poor mental health.
Familiar places to seek comfort, like curling up on the sofa waiting for things to pass, became traps, despite the softness of the quilt it physiologically became this covering that held me on the sofa as though weighted.
This blog is about sharing my journey.
