Dresses and Darnings at Walford Mill Crafts

Dresses and Darnings at Walford Mill Crafts

Our new exhibition 'Dresses and Darnings', a solo show by Jenni Dutton opened this Saturday 24th May here at Walford Mill Crafts in Wimborne and has already received an overwhelming response.  

The exhibition features a collection of Jenni's work over the years which looks at the complex issues of memory, identity and loss all explored through the subject of the female form. 

Some of the most notable work is a series of large sewn portraits of her mother who has dementia. The work was initially in response to well loved photos from her family album, but this soon developed as a vehicle for Jenni to respond to her mothers gradual deteriorating health. The complex issues of memory, identity and loss are explored through the subject of the female form



You can see Dresses and Darnings at Walford Mill Crafts from Saturday 24th Mat 2014 until Sunday 6th July 2014. Free admission. #DAW14
