h a n n a l i e t a u t e | 2 0 1 3a collection of recent works
The emotional and psychological impact of toys, dolls, children, relationships and the power of play, on me being a woman, wife, mother and bibliophile has always been themes I have explored and am still addressing in my work.Besides using a wide variety of mediums to investigate the above themes I have added the fragility of embroidery on rubber/inner tube to my repertoire.
Being fascinated by the term ‘domestic engineer’, I feel that needle, thread and rubber are perfect for exploring this subject. I have always used found objects in my work and rubber/inner tubes are my recent obsession. The act of embroidering allows me some time to become calm, quiet and introspective. The contrast of using a needle on a discarded inner tube I find also appealing, and the masochist in me enjoys the impact this has on my fingers.
