Kirsten Doogue
Lost and Found Casket
Mentor: Charlotte Gaunt
Inspired by 17th-century embroidered caskets, Kirsten's work takes that foundation and tells a personal story. From hidden compartments, to symbolic design, the piece is rife with secrets describing an inquisitive existence and divergent traits. The abundant materials and complex needlework, together with obscured and apparent text form an intricate and unrepeatable portrait.
