Locked in sleeves, lost hands by Fran Leicht

Object: Locked in sleeves, lost hands by Fran Leicht.Cotton, cotton thread, plastic.. 2020.100 x 15 cmI have always found solace and purpose in the act of formulating my thoughts, memories, dreams, and ideologies into tangible forms. My ancestors were lace makers, seamstresses, weavers and goldsmiths; I feel their hands pushing upon my back every day when I work. The work I’am currently absorbed in for the HS6 honours and quietly tells the feminine narratives which have been passed down in my family for generations. Some narratives you can see directly in the work, while others I only hold in my heart and mind as I sew, this process creates an ambiguous reading, telling a story without telling it...! .
