Black frames - embroideries protected with Clarity Glass. 

A note from the artist: "These limited edition embroideries were originally created as part of the central quilt in Beloved, an exhibition at Plas Newydd Historic House and Gardens in Llangollen (Wales). This highly decorated cottage orne was home to Lady Eleanor Butler (1739–1829) and Sarah Ponsonby (1755–1831), who eloped from their families in Ireland to begin a life of exquisite retirement together, escaping the confines of their gendered fates of marriage and the convent. One cat refers to a painting of one of their cats, which still hangs in the house, the other is the ghost cat that appeared to me during my residency."
