My work is exploring ideas of 'home' as conveyed through the traditional 'domestic' medium embroidery. I want to contrast the dour monotony of the Vancouver Special with the expected sweetness of the'home sweet home' embroidery. To me, Vancouver Specials are metaphors for my relationship with East Vancouver. It is rundown and dreary, and kind of ugly, but it is also my home, and can be charming in its idiosyncrasies.
