researching grandfather  
2001
91x77.5 cm
collection of Bankfield Museum, Halifax
drawing, painting & machine embroidery on silk
 

Made for the 62 Group of Textile Artists exhibition A Collective Response at Bankfield Museum, Halifax. The exhbition was so called for artists to respond to the collections in the museum. The piece illustrates the life of my grandfather who was in the Duke of Wellington's West Yorkshire Regiment. The Regimental Museum is housed at Bankfield. The allusion to the computer reflects my latest obsession.
