Little Monsters

This installation of bright, bold, colourful textile tapestries and 3D shapes explores success and failure, as well as the need for approval and love in an increasingly digital world.

Using a range of techniques including tapestry, embroidery, crochet and manipulated machine knitting, Laura Angell invites us into a world of symbols, omens and lucky charms that she calls on to quell the anxieties of this world that can become like Little Monsters roaming inside our heads.
