A summer residency at South Lodge in St Leonards on Sea, working alongside fellow artists from the artists' group 6, gave me the opportunity to explore working with crochet... a skill learned as a child and rarely used since. Making circular motifs (many from vintage patterns) became a slightly obsessive preoccupation and their subsequent display, which saw them creeping across the upper floor of the building, mirrored my feelings of almost being taken over by the work.
