Pushing the Envelope
This textile based work arises from our sense of security during a time with increasing mistrust towards corporates, government agencies, and finance companies.
After collecting over a 1000 security envelopes which have contained documents, unpaid bills, and increasing fees, they were cut, folded and stitched into the patchwork pieces of a traditional cathedral window quilt design. The work suggests a second life, exploring what the common place object may have dreamt of being. Regenerating the security envelope into the security blanket.
