Sweet Dreams/Harsh Realities
Jackie Hamilton
october 23 to 26
'Sweet Dreams/Harsh Realities' is a textile exhibition made up of several series of paintings using the free-motion quilting technique.
Some of the images come from my dreams (which I've been writing faithfully every morning since 1998, and less faithfully for longer), and others from my everyday life - what I live, what I see. They are slices of life from day to night.

"I'm Jackie Hamilton. I was born in another century in Scotland, but I've been in France for a long time, living in Marseille for 13 years. I'm self-taught and passionate about textile work, with a penchant for free-motion embroidery. My work falls into two main categories:
- 1/ costumes and masks
- 2/ narrative drawings in free-motion embroidery, based on my dreams, my everyday life or what's going on in the world."
