I found this rusty old bicycle chain in the street and cycled past it and then had to go back and retrieve it later as I kept thinking about it and it was still there ! I made it into a present for a boy I know who loves bicycles :)
I really really like this piece! I especially like the shadow-type frame you have created with the added element of stitch. Inventive and as ever inspirational!
"Mandy Prowse studied painting and printmaking at Maidstone College of Art. She explores natural and human forms and the interconnectedness of all things. Themes in her work relate to birth, mortality and metamorphosis. Her altered books are minimalistic and organic combining a modern aesthetic with an almost Victorian touch. If you told me these books were 100 years old I wouldn’t think twice about it.”
