I have been researching about Annette Messager a little bit more, and I have found out some interesting things, particulary in a Guardian article wrote a few years ago...
'Puts sparrows in bonnets and sabotages soft toys'
'Sorry little bundles of feathers and bones and wind-up clock motors'
'Messager's work can be obvious as well as secretive and strange'

Also, I have been making use of the library, having a little read in my favourite magazine 'Embroidery'.
There was a piece about the textile artist Rosie James, who has created a lovely tapestry, which is on display in Ordsall Hall, Salford, very close to where I will soon be living... worth a visit I think!
