Digitally manipulated image on printed onto silk, monoprinted calico, representing the ridges of the corrugated iron.

Machine pieced, handstitched.

The inspiration for this art quilt came from the passion I have with corrugated iron. I love taking photographs of rusty old iron walls and sheds. My studio in Lilyfield  was opposite The Old Broom Factory in Rozelle. This a photocopy of the main wall of the factory, that my studio looked onto. We still use broom heads and brushes that Norm Martin the owner gave me.

Oh, I’ve got a great collection of brooms and brushes from Norm’s place. He used to give them to me. "Try them out", he’d say "Let me know if they are any good!" Suzie Cheel, neighbour to broom factory, 84 Foucart Lane, January 1997.

- Jeanne Gehue The broom factory in Rozelle formed the subject of her honours thesis.
