Eleanor White
The work hopefully asks to be heard, it invites the viewer to listen closely and take notice of the unnoticeable, the unseen, the everyday. Through the language of the micro-gesture, small things become the focal point for a different way of looking at the world around us.
Using thread to intervene in daily objects, and trace new lines, gives new identities, through a visual amplification of meaning. The emotional driver exists in the viewer's perception of the work, rather than the work itself.
Using a simple man's white shirt as a lens, the work has been influenced by the desire for identity and communication which is a natural instinct in humans, realised through the use of digital embroidery, which references the small iterations we make in personal dressing and styling habits.
