Gracie draws inspiration from the peddlar women of old who roamed the countryside with their haberdashery & tiny wares.  Peddling stories and objects as well as crossing borders they were also fortune tellers and bringers of news and the unknown.

Weaving a blend of close-up magic using haberdashery & the ancient oral tradition of storytelling, Gracie creates a rich fabric of magic and wonder using the manipulation of the objects and the stories metaphors to explore themes of attachment and desire.

Attachment re-visits the age-old magicians tradition of magic using thimbles, pins & ribbons, both reclaiming this feminine territory & creating New Magic by drawing on threads of theatre, stories, comedy, clown & song to illustrate each little set piece.
