Meet the Maker - Mary McIntosh

 

Mary McIntosh exhibited her piece 'Cross Words' for the Unfolding exhibition. 

Mary says "Reading a daily newspaper to keep up with the unfolding of world events often leaves me feeling enraged by the deceits and injustices of our society. Attempting the crossword to unfold the hidden answers can help soothe the mind.  But the answers sometimes leave me seeing red"

'Cross Words' is made using paper cuttings from various daily newspapers laminated to cotton organdie before stitched letters are added and then pieced using the Pojagi technique. 

169 black and white squares

The 'Unfolding exhibition continues until Sunday 8th October at The Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds IP33 1PR
