Embroideries
Painting/embroidery works comprise of small specimen-like embroideries and large scale painting/embroideries on linen. Colours are mixed in dye and hand painted onto the fabric, and many of the yarns are hand dyed. Embroidery is used as a drawing technique, featuring backstitch, French knots, split stitch, brick stitch, bullion stitch, turkey rug stitch, wheat stitch and rope stitch. The influence of fashion is played out through the techniques, colour palette and tactility of the materials, referencing embroidery samplers and pattern. These works reference textiles and pattern, fashion, drawing, painting and printmaking, utilising a range of skills related to these practices, embedding concepts in the materials.
