About this listen
Sometimes the benefits of a regular creative practice don’t just come from the making but whom you’re creating it with. Michele Elliot is a textile artist who was trekking in Nepal after a residency in India when she found herself in the middle of the massive 2015 Gorhka Earthquake. Michele returned safely to Australia but suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She began to re-evaluate her entire artistic practice and found comfort not only in those repetitive Kantha stitches, but in reconnecting with her local community, teaching workshops and leading a sewing circle at Tender Funerals.
