The Silken Ties That Bind – Irene Evison
Unlike previous work, this is an expression purely of emotion. Its design is the endpoint of a long process, starting with many conceptual sketches, and culminating in a series of charcoal drawings closely aligned with what you see now. My aim was to find a very simple design concept which viewers could appreciate visually and find their own meaning in, and which I could appreciate for what it says to me. Accidentally – as it was conceived before the pandemic – some people might relate to it in the context of our national lockdown.
