Cotton, brass pins | 65cm x 80cm | 2020
'Connected' Kilkenny Sculpture Trail, 2020

40 Assorted Dressings for the Prickly Pear comprises of forty needlepoint lace pieces incorporating twenty different lace stitches. The work responds to interconnectedness, ecology and tending to the planet in a caring approach.

This piece presents a notional scenario whereby dressings have been specially made for injured parts of a plant; akin to buying a packet of 40 assorted plasters for cuts and bruises. The work is part of an ongoing exploration into the framing of the non-human world for and by contemporary society. Humans would take more urgent action if humans were at the edge of extinction.
