As a fabric artist, I have created this piece to highlight the things I love most about my community. The diversity in nature is part of my rural reality, from, cropping and grazing domesticated animals, to natural woodlands, wetlands, native birds and animals. I have created a bookcase that is filled with books made from fabrics that reflect my rural experience and reality. The ornaments on the shelves extend to include some of my favourite things and offer a point of difference, encouraging the viewer to explore the bookcase and my rural reality further. 

About the artist

Helen Druce is a creator of fabric art in many genres, from slow stitching and traditional embroidery to machine and hand pieced patchwork and crochet. Druce is inspired by the beauty around her and her spiritual journey, and often exploits texture to investigate these.
