'I grow stuff' Artwork
 
This 'I grow stuff therefore I am' artwork  is hand- stitched into striped handcut card. 
 
 
‘I think, therefore I am’ said Descartes – he believed that a person existed in both mind and body and that, of the two, the more powerful was the mind. The mind, of course, senses the body so whenever you think, you exist. Compare this with the manic consumer culture of the 80s, Kruger’s artwork ‘I shop therefore Iam’ critiqued society’s need to be defined by what you own rather than what you think.
Today, we’re still living within systems that make individuals think they need more ‘stuff’ and encourages mass consumerism without thought.
But, as we are now hearing more and more, this is being rejected by many individuals who want more – more experiences, more mindfulness, resulting in better well-being. ‘I grow stuff therefore I am’
 
These modern artworks juxtapose a traditional craft with contemporary text and colour. They look great individually or even can be used to fill a wall.
The idea is to make someone smile.
 
After punching the holes in the card, I stitch each individual artwork with organic  coloured thread to create a unique artwork that is framed in a contemporary white frame made in the UK.
