WINNER OF THE 2021 PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE
‘A strange and mesmerising piece of work’ Sunday Times
‘An absolute masterpiece’ Laura Cumming
‘An uncommon delight’ Observer
Claire Wilcox has served as a fashion curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum for most of her career. In Patch Work, she turns her gaze to life, retrieving threads of memory: a sweater worn by a child, a box of buttons, the hanging of a curtain, a pair of cycling shorts, a roll of lace, a pin hidden in a seam. Through these intimate and fascinating snapshots, we see how the stories and secrets of clothes mark the passage of time, our victories and losses, and how we use them to unravel and write our stories.
‘Effervescent, poetic, puzzle-like ... Wilcox picks at the heartstrings’ Financial Times
