“Sleeping Beauty overslept” 2016 Cotton thread, doillies and rubber 103 x 74 cm

Good morning!

“Nog 10 slapies”… and then it’s showtime. So I thought since I live in a town also known as the ‘Bay of the Sleeping Beauty” that it’s a good idea to share this image with you. This piece will be exhibited at my next solo exhibition: The Grimm Needle at Fried Contemporary. I hope not to oversleep and miss the opening 😉

Inspiration for this piece came from this:

on a side note: My Mother-in-law taught me a new stitch, and I tried it on Prince Phillip. Always a challenge to try new stitches on rubber, but it was worth a try…practise, practise, practise.
