Crawling Miner

Machine and hand stitching onto vintage linen.

Miner applied using an image tranfer taken from one of my charcoal life studies.

First go at this stuff... seems to pick up details really well.

'Floor' a mixture of gelliplate printing and some old lino blocks - motif is taken from the fossilised tree bark of the Lepidodendron. It's what the coal measures hereabouts were formed from.
