Background:
A spinning commission of banana silk and wool dyed by a talented indie dyer in the colours of ‘Elsa’.
Story:
You know those mornings when you wake and you instantly know?
You know before you draw the curtains, before you even really open your eyes.
There’s a strange light quality.
A light that means no other possibility, but snow.
Some spatterings, some deep drifts, all altering the familiar contours.
The snow-covered landscape is new, is strange, is constantly changing
And we rush to explore it with childlike glee.
