Textiles...




I have been using stitch to create portraits of people that i have interviewed. In the images above i used standard stitch, however for the image in the middle i started to introduce some text as well, which are the words that the person in the piece has spoke to me about.

This project was socially engaged, and i worked within the community to find the information to work with in these piece's. The information begins to come through in this project, but has developed a lot more in latter piece's.

I also have an installation that goes alongside this project which i will upload in a separate post :)
