The hand-sewn sacks and crudely stitched seams are metaphors for fragility, the act of mending clothes and patching together our lives. These pieces are snapshots of people’s belongings and goods. The contents of the sacks is left very much to the viewer’s imagination.

Judge Comment:
These quotidean objects from the everyday are rendered poignantly and with a deadpan wit. A surprising and delightful work.
