I believe Sarah sees the drawings of textiles as sculptural artworks, meditative in process. There are physical interventions in the drawings – buttons, hooks, thread, and I feel there is tension in the drawn edges. My favourite artworks in this exhibition – “Shrinkage” and “Hooked”.
The Millinary Works gallery has a discreet front, easy to walk past, and I imagine little more developed than when it was a large millinary workshop. The main part of the workshop is used for the antique furniture business but the gallery space is the updated section of this building. Definitely worth a visit.

Blue Cockerel with pigeons, Trafalgar Square, London
Sculpture “Cock” by Katharina Fritsch, in Trafalgar Square, London. This is the most recent artwork chosen for the empty fourth plinth.
(PS the pigeons just happened to be there sharing the same space).
