Textile Talks: Gillian Cooper - Fragments of the Past, presented by SAQA
Presented by SAQA: "One step, one mark, one stitch. On their own, they are fairly meaningless, but repeated and gathered together, these ordinary everyday acts turn into something more consequential - a walk, a drawing, a textile. This presentation shares Gillian Cooper’s reflections on a journey through 4 years of process driven practice, walking, drawing and stitching, using the framework of a Masters in Contemporary Art and Archaeology with the University of the Highlands and Islands, Scotland."

More from SAQA:
"Initially inspired by the layers of history beneath her feet as she walked locally, via a diversion along the Loch Katrine Aqueduct, hidden in plain sight in the local countryside, before circling back to the gestures of walking, drawing and stitching themselves and their overlapping repetitions and rhythms."
