As you will gather I am enamoured with her work. it is not patchwork as we generally know it by any means and the quilt police didn't like it at first. She tried to enter into an annual art exhibition at the Royal Academy in London and they would not let her as they did not consider it art!!!
The link to her site is there in my post - Nude with a Rope is stunning. I saw the leather coat at the NEC, with the Phoenix on, right? Imaging FMQing on that - you can't make a mistake and unpick as it would leave a permanent hole. :shock: ANd as for the RA - one year they gave an unmade bed the Turner prize so what do they know! :lol:
