Artist's Eye Liza Lou

April 2020

In this episode of Artist's Eye, Liza Lou spoke about the comfort blanket that 'contains an essential aspect of her childhood'.

It was sewn over a period of a year by her grandmother’s best friend Agnes, and Lou rediscovered this treasured object by chance while tidying her house during this period of confinement. She describes its nostalgic importance and wonders at the long process of stitching together different pieces of fabric to create a soothing object that Lou now recognises has inspired her work as an artist.
