General comments from the public:

The figures in Table Eight would look lovely pinned up around the space.

“Flossie, I agree that the routine of the eating ritual around a table is becoming a rare event in homes. Is there a reason your scarf people are folded at the table on their seat? Should we be unfolding them to view their full extent? ”

We’ve got our first school group coming this morning so will let you know how they enjoy it.  Will look forward to meeting you in May,

cheers, Sally

Hi Sally, I just thought…There are pictures of most of the SCARF PEOPLE in the book ‘Art and Soul’ which is the official catalogue. You can point these out to visitors or open one up for interested folks.

Part of the reason the scarves are folded up is to add to ‘the mystery’ of the person, as found in real life. We all have hidden parts to ourselves. The folding also echoes Wendy’s holding of Peter Pan’s shadow when it got caught in her room, set away for posterity.
