I explored the process of videoing myself through a surveillance camera whilst sewing, as an act of choosing to observe myself as a woman performing a skill. The work was made in response to Virginia Woolf’s ‘A Room of One’s Own’ in order to reflect on woman as a potentially active and knowledgeable subject rather than a normative site of objectification.
