Machine embroidery...drawings, photographs and beyond…
I have developed free machine embroidery in a variety of ways. I have used my own drawings and photographs as a springboard for the development of two dimensional pictorial compositions and three dimensional sculptural forms or design and craft forms. I have also used fabric printing, painting and dyeing techniques as a means to develop ideas about embroidery treatments. I am now beginning to examine the use of found objects as foundations pieces for new embroidery projects, rather than simply including them as final embellishments after the bulk of the embroidery has been completed.
