Tribute to Grenfell - Art Quilt


I finally get to show you my art quilt "Tribute to Grenfell" which is on display until 27th October in the "Stitched and Bound" exhibition at the Zig Zag Gallery in Kalamunda.

On the evening of 14th June 2017 the world watched in horrified fascination as 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire. Eyewitness testimony described the terror as flames raced up the 24 storey building. This emotional, depressing piece is a tribute to those who lost their lives.


This piece was made with felt and organza and quilted with eyewitness testimony, machine-stitch lettering. The piece was then melted and burnt just like the building.
