EMBROIDERY/INSTALLATION

During the final year of my degree I focused on making work that allowed me to explore the female form through a range of different materials and processes, including embroidery and digital drawings. I used embroidery to create linear, abstract, figure-based forms, my aim was to simplify the female form to the point where the lines within the work were unrecognisable as ahuman figure. The slow nature of the process enabled me to thoroughly explore the forms being created by the thread. Creating large-scale embroideries as part of an installation with other elements including projections of digital images, meant that images and lines were often reimagined by the viewer and the delicate aspects of the work such as the embroidery were less noticeable.
