@artistsupportpledge continues as a movement. It started in this space grid of squares in an inspired powerful moment of action and generosity by @matthewburrowsstudio - and also now beyond online spaces to real life. The opening gathering of A Generous Space @_art_on_sea on Friday felt like a celebration of all that it means in joining together and making pledges to support each other and try to change things. With all movements I guess there is ebb and flow. momentum relies on taking part and adding to the positive energy. To that end I am posting this work here for #artistsupportpledge . Scroll down for details. Warmest Sunday wishes xx

unintentional- but embroidery on a velvety dark ground + jewel colours - looks kind of festive don’t you think ?
Anyway that’s by the by - this is called puzzled - which I am a lot of the time - by the fragmentation and brokenness of things. My work often attempts to bring fragments together to make sense - stitch has most simply always been about repair and constructing something you want to see in the world - slowly pieced and stitched work. Brights + darks .

An unprecedented number of people face homelessness in Kent this Christmas. Since the pandemic protections like furlough and increased Universal Credit have ended - many are struggling financially as well as socially, with mental health leading to breakdown of family structures and homelessness.
…
home is everything - no one can get well and rebuild anything without a safe home.
