The Not So Bad

 

Vintage velvet, silk and glass buttons, thread on vintage bed linen

50 x 50 cm

Towards the end of the process I sent her a photograph of plastic and glass buttons via her mobile phone (I warned her they were coming) . She said she didn't find them too disgusting. I wondered whether the process had somehow helped her to address her phobia or whether the transparent nature of the material meant they were less 'present' and so less upsetting. She printed out the picture and sent it back with notes as they appear here.
