Kamari Grant
Me and my friends went out to some docks and we saw a turtle stuck on something. It wasn’t supposed to be in that water so I tried to help it.
I was getting near it and it swam away out of my view so I lost it.
I haven’t seen it since.
Kamari from Harris Garrard School responded to the FOEW installation and created this textile artwork inspired by their experiences of the area of Thamesmead.
The materials and equipment were also generously supplied by the Royal school of Needlework as part of their ‘Embroider a Selfie’ programme, more details can be found here https://royal-needlework.org.uk/get-involved/embroider-a-selfie/
