About this event
Working in mixed media, my artwork is created using machine and hand embroidery, fabric collage and handprint. Fish and birds often feature in my pieces and the images are built up from hundreds of stitches, forming layers of colour and texture.
The fish pictures, although two-dimensional, convey a sense of movement by using shimmering fabrics and metallic threads. In other pieces like birds, I use heavy stitching to manipulate the fabrics giving a 3D sculptural appearance.
I also use this technique for faces and figures. Combined with my love of colour and pattern, these pieces are vibrant and fun. Sometimes patterns are abstract or inspired by feathers, fish scales and repetitive tile and carpet designs. I like to recycle materials whenever possible and also create mosaics using broken china.
