​During the World Wars, needlework became more than domestic care work. Sewing, mending, knitting and embroidery formed part of a wider network of interdependent care, allowing women to contribute materially to families, communities and wartime efforts. In a moment of crisis, this often-invisible labour became visible and necessary. Yet as the wars ended and society returned to economic stability, these practices gradually receded into the private sphere, becoming ordinary domestic activities once again.
 
This mixed-media project revisits needlework as a way of tracing these movements between visibility and invisibility. Through image-making, fragments of domestic care are brought forward – not necessarily to reconstruct a complete history, but to create space around what may have been forgotten, overlooked or left undocumented. What happens to histories of care when they are not considered significant enough to enter the archive? What is remembered when domestic labour is valued only in moments of crisis? And what disappears when the everyday, the feminine and the domestic are separated from the histories we choose to preserve?
