Profile
Carol is a textile artist and researcher who makes and studies lace. She exhibits widely and has completed a practice based PhD at UCA Farnham entitled ‘The domestic veil: exploring the net curtain through the uncanny and the gothic’. Carol’s post-doctoral research focusses on the history, manufacture and design of lace, net curtains and lace panels. Her practice is inspired by nineteenth-century gothic fiction, veiling, domesticity, women’s history and subversive stitching.
Carol has recently produced a series of work based on research into the life and lace designs of Amy Atkin, the first female Nottingham machine lace designer, which considers the effect of marriage on women’s working lives in the early twentieth century.
