Celebrating What Remains – (What You Stole from Me) is new work by Michelle House about her mother and Alzheimer’s: a ball of wool, a lifetime’s knitting, a love of textiles passed down, a memory stolen. Her experience in hand-printing textiles and intuitive use of colour combine with stitch, in pieces remembering items made by her mother as acts of love for family and home. Using linens, silk and wool in colours inspired by knitting needles and homemade clothes, these works include photographs documenting her mother’s sewing cabinet and fabric from her hand-made curtains – later becoming table coverings and upholstery, now used again. At Least We Have Neil Diamond recalls dancing to Sweet Caroline – a song she loved.
