Victoria Baths Exhibition

So...I have decided to start this reflection with the work I created for an exhibition at Victoria Baths. The work created had to be site specific and linked not only to swimming but to my life. I have strong memories of swimming with my Dad and Brother on a Monday evening as a child. I liked the idea of linking these happy childhood memories with a traditional knitted bathing costume. This work also formed part of my 'Story so far' exhibition at University.




The knitted costume in all it's glory.

My simple drawing style reveals a sense of nostalgia, something which I think is evident in all of my work and again links back to my childhood memories.
