Mixed Media on paper, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame

I have always loved glistening embroidery thread and all of the beautiful colours available. My mother and grandmother were both amazing seamstresses and I seem to recall that I spent my entire childhood growing up listening to the sewing machine as my mother created beautiful garments. During my training as a contemporary artist I studied units of textiles at Uni SA and Curtin University and enjoyed playing with fabric and thread, and I wanted to explore my image through the textile medium. I have applied pop art principles into the artwork with sections of colour to create form. When looking closely at these pieces I am transfixed by the capture of light on the thread, the different colours, and the delicate detail.

This piece looks amazing framed and in an intimate setting. The size of the "sewn" artwork is 37cm W and 28cm H - leaving a border of paper, and mat board, and a 2cm thick beach frame. This particular piece could be hung in a portrait or landscape format. If you love line making with more unusual yet beautiful media this artwork is for you!
