a few things

In the exhibition a few things explores the often overlooked collections of lost property. The exhibition was presented at BSA Project Space from 20 October to 1 November 2017. Over the past two years Sands has been trawling through lost property collections uncovering somewhat quirky gems that represent our everyday lives. Sands meticulously recreates these collections in thread. The hand sewn line becomes a ghostly outline and the cross stitched motif transforms in to an abstract study of the lost objects.
