Blankets are objects I associate strongly with my Gran. They are warm and soft, conveying how I felt about her while directly connecting to her own creative practice. This blanket features collagraph illustrations of the objects I explored throughout this project, arranged in a pattern reminiscent of the ones my Gran used to make. Breaking away from the object’s traditional functional use, this blanket tapestry merges illustration and fabric to imbue the material with narrative weight. This outcome functions as a physical bridge across loss and the value these objects now hold.
