And a few more from Chantal

Installing Unspoken - Chantal on the left, me on the right
(the black thing with the hands on has nothing to do with us!)

Installation view showing the paper plinths (Chantal's brain child!)


Correspondence: in the window on the left is a photo and envelope from Chantal;
on the plinth on the right is a 'postcard' from Chantal and the 'bird and be' box I sent to her


Some of our earlier correspondence hanging in the window. On the left is one Chantal sent to me, a beautiful envelope made from a clothing pattern with a button, safety pin and upholstery pin inside. On the right is one I sent to Chantal; it's made from a body print and has a butterfly (dead of course) trapped under plastic with the word 'resuscitation' on it. There's also some embroidered text 'he pulls' that you can't see in this photo!

A 'unique book' I sent to Chantal. It's made up of paper, text, stitching, photos, ash, prints, wax...

And finally... ('cos I really think I should be doing this on my website!), here's a lovely
little box that Chantal sent to me. The narrative she's written is on all sides of
the box. Inside it there are pottery shards and dried blue hydrangea petals.
