Continuing with the theme of acknowledging the debt we owe to paper as a carrier of information and knowledge, we focused on human rights legislation. Although in many cases originally written on vellum, the dissemination of information about our legal rights has been through printed paper copies.
Rather than creating a piece which straightforwardly gave homage, we perversely embroidered mocking graffiti on to paper copies of the Magna Carta and the Human Rights Act 1998. A laborious and oddly affectionate form of defacement, the embroidery demonstrates in a light hearted way the rights we have to freedom of speech and to challenge authority as enshrined in this legislation.
