Magical Neon


Cauldrons are black and skillets are copper, but my representation of them is in bright neon-like colours. 



In old times, the nourishing aspect of cauldrons was mixed up with magic and witchcraft.




Neon lights are magical to me.  They feel like the product of witchcraft or alchemy, even if I know well that there is a scientific explanation for their brightness and sparkle.  They illuminate dark nights and add a touch of magic to city centres.





“The Witching Cauldron” is made with fabrics hand-dyed by myself, using fused appliqué and machine stitching.  42” by 31.5”.

If you slide the photos up and down the page a little, with the cursor on the slider, some of the colours seem to flicker and shine.
