14x10cm, cloth, metal, glass
A conflict in our family led me to make a pincushion for my mother to use, one not unlike my father in appearance, who then found himself in a precarious situation. In making the figure I used a swatch of cloth from the pocket of Dad's coat. It's also very important to know that for one of the needle objects I used a valuable family gem - Grandma's broach. I attached the pincushion to the fridge in my parents' kitchen.
