Living Thread is a series of observations of our natural world. Each embroidery begins as a highly-detailed drawing which is then translated into thread on fabric. Each piece allows me to obsess over colours and details while attempting to capture the fleeting lives and presence of each creature. These embroideries are a way to display and appreciate small animals of the natural world without the living ones being collected and pinned inside frames.
