Bridget’s insects combine her contrasting experiences of growing up on a farm and a career fashion. The results are artworks inspired by down-to earth observations from her allotment, created with the ethereal materials and the light touch of couture textile and millinery techniques. Dead flies and swarms of midges transform from unappealing to compelling, when made with such delicacy and respect. Those who’d normally step away lean closer; and in that moment is a fly as beautiful as a butterfly, and a beetle as beneficial as a bee?
