In November I came third in the #handandlockprize for textiles. A Couple on the Tube took about 2 years to make and really pushed my ability to draw with thread. The final work aimed to fool the senses by stitching many different textures in thread. Here I am making the final marks on the old leather strap of the lady’s bag. #handandlock #acoupleonthetube #freemachineembroidery #textileart #stitchedart #contemporarystitch #embroideryartist @handandlock_theprize

Another image behind the making of ‘A Couple on the Tube’. Here you can see the reverse and the front of a section of the drawing. I always work in layers with different top and bottom threads enabling me to work in a painterly way.

A Couple on the Tube: @handandlock_theprize The faces were built up slowly in complicated, meticulous layers. Not being a painter, I researched portrait artists such as Lucian Freud and Andrew James who use vivid palettes and embroidery artist @caycezavagliastudio who stitches by hand on large canvases. I wanted to try and understand how to build up faces in layers of colour so that I could produce a bold, painterly effect. #textileart #textileartist #freemachineembroidery #portraitpainting #stitchedportraits #fineart #stitchedartisart #hlprize19 @embroiderersguildukofficial
