As the light starts to return in late winter I can see the end and start to look forward to spring. I’m able to plan ahead and become more creative and productive.

‘Unseen Things‘ uses gold acrylic fibres mixed into purple wool and silk fibre. Mawata silk over carded wool forms the ‘pebbles’ with gummy silk cocoon fibre to make the dandelion seeds.

STARS AND DANDELIONS

“Deep in the blue sky,
like pebbles at the bottom of the sea,
lie the stars unseen in daylight
until night comes.
You can’t see them, but they are there.
Unseen things are still there.
The withered, seedless dandelions
hidden in the cracks of the roof tile
wait silently for spring,
their strong roots unseen.
You can’t see them, but they are there.
Unseen things are still there.
