Covid 19 Part 1

Detail from "Covid 19. Part 1" - A Red hand embroidery documenting our shared experiences from 2020

I’ve always felt that memories need documenting in some way and for me it’s to fix them into stitch. Covid 19 Part 1 records our shared experiences during the first lockdown in 2020. It was designed in late summer and stitched just before lockdown 2 in November. As I was stitching I found myself doubting that some of these things had actually occurred – no planes in the sky and the loud sound of birdsong.  

We all lived through a joint experience in March that we’ll remember for years to come.

The piece is the second in a new body of work – the first being ‘The Sound of the Kenwood Chef’.

Self Portrait Exhibition

Knitting & Stitching Website featuring - Hand embroidered red thread in couching stitch.

I’m pleased to share with you my submission to Beyond The Knitting & Stitching Show ‘Self Portrait’ Exhibition 2020. It’s entirely hand stitched and measures 74cm x 74cm. From initial design to final stitch it took 19 days to complete. Created on a vintage linen bed sheet and couched in my favourite red embroidery thread.

Browse the submitted art works in the Self Portrait Exhibition and vote for your favourite piece for the ‘People’s Choice’ by following this link.

The design started with an initial self portrait – the competition required that the face -front or side profile – needed to be approximately 20cm x 30cm. After that, I filled the cloth with words and thoughts that fill my mind.

Please show your support for all the textile artists and the Knitting & Stitching Show by voting on-line.
