Multiple stitching

Running stitch on to linen using crochet cotton.

I am creating my impression of the prison door of the cell in which Emma Sproson ( a supporter of Womens' Suffrage) was confined in Stafford Gaol.

This patch of stitching has been added to the calico backing and represents marks made on the prison door to show the passage of time.

The ridges, which are formed in between the stitching, give the impression of time which has been distorted, in this case by Emma being in solitary confinement.
