Ex-archaeological conservator now CITES appraiser and textile artist. Makes animal portraits, jams, chutneys and relishes.
Spent a morning at the Design Museum, London, recently. Mixed feelings about the place. Superficial is a word that comes to mind. Lots of statements like the attached. Being of an age to have seen the Gestetner in action, I can say it was not a really a forerunner of the photocopier nor seductive.

New quilt! All made of home-dyed cyanotypes, with plants I collected.
It’s been about 2 years in the making, and I’m so pleased with how it’s coming out.
