Threads of Feeling
Installation in the stairwell, made in conjunction with the exhibition Threads of Feeling at the Foundling Museum. All the ribbons came from V V Rouleaux, the ribbon shop in Marylebone.
About the exhibition: "Threads of Feeling will showcase fabrics never shown before to illustrate the moment of parting as mothers left their babies at the original Foundling Hospital, which continues today as the children’s charity Coram.
"In the cases of more than 4,000 babies left between 1741 and 1760, a small object or token, usually a piece of fabric, was kept as an identifying record. The fabric was either provided by the mother or cut from the child’s clothing by the hospital's nurses. Attached to registration forms and bound up into ledgers, these pieces of fabric form the largest collection of everyday textiles surviving in Britain from the 18th Century."
