‘Mother bestows suture upon the already quilted soul of child’
Kate Howe, 2023. 250cm x 220cm, Sutured Belgian Linen and Rabbit Skin Glue. Collection: The Polemics of Pulling, Painting.
“Running through all my work are the seams of things being healed from rupture, the scar of having been brought together before.
And now, as the rabbit skin glue dries and the Belgian linen strains against the tacks, the sutures show, working the other way, pulling the material back together.”
