 The
underlying title of this exhibition was "flesh to ashes, ashes to
flesh." The Weaver was the final piece that brought the idea
full circle, with "ashes to flesh" written on the canvas itself.
I view time, history, life… as a tapestry. Everything is woven;
everyone is a thread who helps to make a pattern. When all of these
people were reduced to ashes, their threads and the possible patterns
they could have made were all cut short — the pattern destroyed —
lives and way of life and knowledge lost. It is the job of the weaver
to bring these threads to life, to try and connect us to the past through
the gap that was created. To make the pattern anew by taking of
ourselves.
