Katherine McNamara Logic will take you from A to B; imagination will take you everywhere

I have hand-stitched little characters and objects on and around the subject of my work: my niece. A child’s imagination is the breath and innocence of life. I am celebrating the freedom that a child has to play off their imagination and conceived reality. I challenge the viewer to renew their present life with a burst of innocent and childish thoughts and scenarios. Return to your childhood, remember the days when ‘impossible’ was never found within your vocabulary and weave a little foolishness into your day – it does not have to be logical to make you smile.
