"Some nights I sit at home and sew and the hours fly by and I look at the clock and see it's 2 am, time to go to bed. Using my hands has always been a big part of my existence- an art, a craft, a meditation. The exponential growth of technology has also spawned its antithesis - a revival of craft - an elevation of handiwork to a fine art."

Made By Hand, curated by Martyn Thompson.
