Machine Embriodery
Detail from a piece which is destined for exhibition next weekend. It will be shown at the Newman Brothers Coffin Factory in Birmingham, UK and will be entitled "A lament for an unheard voice.
My inspiration has been taken from notes found in the Shroud department where it was noted that for some burials it was required that female faces be shrouded as there was an open coffin tradition.
This image shows machine embroidery on to one layer of felt. I'm sampling figures and flower petals, both of which are quite small scale
