Many of you may remember Alison Mercer’s lovely, quirky hangings from her earlier exhibitions in Ucheldre at the beginning of her career. Now with work exhibited far and wide, including recently in New York, it is a pleasure to see her latest body of stitched soft sculptures.
Alison employs embroidery to communicate many personal meanings, ancestral, devotional and subliminal, to connect to the world around her. Each object created becomes a revelation and a token of memory.
