Implanted Hope

​Making ‘Implanted Hope’ provided an outlet following the intense emotions I experienced following the death of my husband, Dave, after his brief yet vicious encounter with cancer. Constructed from eight metres of enamelled copper wire and monofilament fabric, supported by driftwood, it is inspired by the collective movement of starling murmuration’s. The woven fabric is intensively manipulated into the base of the driftwood, representing my angst, in the early stages of grieving. As time starts its healing process, the fabric gradually begins unfolding as my life began to flow again.
