Welsh Emergency Blankets

Seven foil emergency blankets are overprinted with traditional designs from Welsh blankets. This work was made in 2019, the same year the Welsh Government stated their ambition to be a Nation of Sanctuary. The installation contrasts the functional utility of the thin, foil blanket with the heritage, culture and security of the traditional Welsh blanket. It encourages us to consider the opportunities of being an inclusive and welcoming nation.
