Natasha Kerr - Inspiration for a collaborative textile art project

Whilst researching a project, I rediscovered textile artist Natasha Kerr. When I lived in London, I stumbled upon her at an open studio event in Clerkenwell when she was designing for luxury brands as a textile designer. The turning point for her came when she began to use old family photos within her work. A series of work came out of this and forms the basis of her current practice. Some of Natasha's work is in the V&A's textile collection.

"Natasha Kerr creates complex, multi-layered objects that resonate with the hidden histories of family heirlooms and everyday objects. 'At the End of the Day' takes as its starting point a series of family photographs given to Kerr by her mother. Tucked away for many years in a cupboard below the stairs, these images provided Kerr with what she describes as a 'visual thread', linking her to an otherwise unknown part of her family history".
