Caroline Kirton – Stitched Snapshots
A-Z, Appliqué, Art, Artists and Designers, TextilesCaroline Kirton creates applique and machine embroiderd snapshots of her teenage daughters and friends. Her work looks at teenage life from the point of view of an adult or parent. Kirton states “My work is also concerned with the issues of control and how young people often feel they have no real control over their lives because of parental and official boundaries”.

I love all the work by the students, the composition is great and the use of fabrics. I like to use fabrics where you don’t expect to find them , like the flowery bench.
