Begun as a prompt about “the power of textiles to generate, evoke and preserve memories”. ‘1974’ is based on an item of clothing from my childhood and my ever-present love of stripes. ‘1974’ started with a recreation the stripes from a particular top before being cut up and reconstructed. I particularly remember added embellished detail of my clothing from this era, so incorporating hand quilting helped recreate this. I documented the making of this quilt on the @tenfoldtextilecollective Instagram feed during lockdown in Melbourne 2020.
