“ in ammanna”

The source and inspiration comes from the past traditions of storytelling. It deals with myths, traditional beliefs and practices. It was a part of everyday life as it passed on the security and protective knowledge and the skills needed to the next generation.

Often in times of the harvest there are certain customs to abide by which secures next year's supply from the ‘onlooker’. Thread was often used for its protective qualities and it was a strong element in rural life.

People of the time were self sufficient and what they would hold dear to them is what had to be protected most of all.

My interests often refer back to traditional techniques used, such as crochet, knit and embroidery.
