Sensitised & sentimental: Melissa Spratt
Details
In SENSITISED & SENTIMENTAL, regional artist Melissa Spratt explores her experience of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), through a series of textile works. Using wool, a fibre which can both soothe and irritate, Spratt elucidates the experience of being an HSP by sharing short statements, and longer stream of consciousness style phrases, to convey the flood of emotions and thoughts she endures as an HSP.
A Tweed Regional Gallery initiative. An outcome of the PLATFORM program.
