The work for this touring exhibition comprised a number of nineteenth century child-made samplers which were altered by unpicking parts of the original text and images and replacing them with my own. The texts of sentimental received truths were replaced with new texts reflecting adult and parental fears and doubts at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
