ENCHANTED CREATURES; Tara Deighton, The Snug at The Crown. 28th Feb - 27th March.
"In the corners of my memory live my Enchanted Creatures. Fragments of Fairy Tales, the magic of the circus, Memento Mori of Victorian taxidermy, the wonder and fear of childhood ~ all exist and collide in my imagination and have been brought to life as my Enchanted Creatures with precious fabrics and loving stitches. Each piece is unique and handmade by me in my little cottage by the sea. And they may, or may not be, renditions of creatures that are real…There is a memory to cloth and the ability to heal in the working of each stitch and each of my creatures embodies this process of healing and memory. Antique textiles, my great Nana's broken string of pearls, Victorian jet, discarded wedding dresses ~ precious scraps and mementos are stitched into life ~ A cabinet of enchanted curiosities in the heart of Hastings Old Town. By day, I run a dressmaking school and delve into the archives of fashion and film history and share my sewing and crafting adventures through videography. By night, I bring my enchanted creatures to life.
