About the work

Tailoring and needlework have a strong tradition in my family, and I was brought up to think of textiles as objects of artistry and skill. This drawing is based on a photograph of my mother’s crochet shawl, blowing on our washing line. It was her most treasured wedding gift. The image transports me to the moment of its making: the time, effort and love invested in it as a token of celebration, the union of families and new beginnings.

Tanabana, my new series of tapestry works, will be exhibited in New York this summer.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm (BST) Monday 3rd July, however, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
