Carolyn Sullivan<br />
ARTIST STATEMENT<br />
Hand stitching has been part of Carolyn Sullivan’s life<br />
since she was 8! Like many girls in the 1950’s, she was<br />
taught the craft at school. It was in 6th class, when she<br />
got sent to the “naughty corner “because I was talking too<br />
much, that I realised how the meditative quietness of<br />
being on my own, making something, was special.<br />
Nothing has changed - except sometimes she is allowed<br />
to stitch and talk!<br />
