A completely hand-stitched Craftsperson's Smock Frock, 'Work Worn' is made up of four separate heritage crafts; Smock-making, Smocking, Embroidery, and Button-making. The Smock Frock is historically the early workwear of the British isles. Its was as much function as it was advertisement, hand sewn by the worker's wife, the embroidery often signifying the trade of the wearer. The smock features six separate embroideries, six smocked panels on the chest, back and wrists, and six hand made icon like buttons. 'Work Worn' sits heavy on the shoulders of the modern working class Craftswoman, made on train journeys, bus journeys, on breaks, after work, and at any spare moment over the span of six months. It references the work of unknown craftspeople seen in collections and archives in both its larger form and smaller details. It is both form, function and painstaking labour, a visual resistance to the modern degradation of craft. A pilgrimage to the deft hands that sewed with care and warmth.
