Vanessa Rolf – Unearthed – Stories Told Through Stitch

Textile Artist Vanessa Rolf will introduce her working methods researching archives, using maps and delving into stories about people and landscapes. Her series of works, created in response to Hampshire Cultural Trust’s archives of archeological artefacts questions the value of things, what we choose to keep, how we treasure objects, and how these shape our ideas about being human.
