Moirai : Study I Clotho

£395.00

Wax, earth pigment and traditional gesso on linen, canvas and silk on a wood support. Mixed media - Natural materials

21 × 15 × 3 cm [variable edges]

1 in a series of 3

Moirai Study Series I II & III

These new, experimental studies are inspired by the myth of the Moirai: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos are the three Fates, in Greek mythology, who spin, measure, and cut the thread of human life. I’ve been drawn to their symbolic roles in shaping destiny; the studies respond to an abstract idea of the goddesses.

The works are assembled using remnants of canvas, linen, fabric, and silk; specifically offcuts cut from the edges of stretched paintings. These often discarded materials feel intimate and resonant. It’s as if the fragments have been elevated, speaking simultaneously as surface and symbol. The salvaged textiles echo the thread-like metaphor for the length and fragility of life.

This series is part of an open-ended exploration, where meaning emerges gradually through touch, texture, and process. It’s a way of thinking through ideas of fate, time, and transformation; not in fixed terms, but through material presence and subtle reflection.

Created for A Small Space exhibition at The Silk Museum, Macclesfield drawing inspiration from the collection embodied in the museum and the textile industry of former silk factory adjacent - Paradise Mill.
