Remnants of the Manmade redirects the eye from manmade architecture towards the handmade. Photographs of architecture are transformed from cold to warm, concrete to fibre, hard traces of the manmade into soft materials of the handmade. Erect buildings lose their masculinity when a feminine object with attention to detail and thoughtful laborious hand-stitching emerges to the forefront. The perspective shifts from passersby navigating through lonely crowds in a concrete jungle, inward towards the home, the domestic space. A space of comfort and control separate from the chaos of the outside world.
