Eileen Harrisson : A Sense of Longing

10 Jan-21 Feb 2015

Overview

Eileen Harrisson begins with the poem 'He wishes for the Cloths of Heaven' by W.B. Yeats and interprets states of human consciousness and longing through colour, sound and hand stitch. She develops words into a musical key and draws together the aural and the visual through rhythms of stitch, the emotive power of colour and the sculptural qualities of cloth.
