Patterns for gentleness’ is an ongoing zine-based project with an ear towards the foldable/pocket-sized sewing pattern. The pattern expands inwards and outwards, changes shape, and is a recipe for warmth. This work is an invitation towards craftiness and play - to sew a piece of ginger, to gift, to hold and to be held. Grandma and I collaborated in following and drawing the contours of ginger, giggling along the way. The video work, ‘Sewingbadgeifreceivedbyemail.mp4’, documents this collaboration which was very ‘school holidays’ in its joyfulness.
