The last few months I’ve been taking it easy and slowly getting back into the flow of working on my art practice. In October, I finished three new cross-stitch works titled Free Form Series 01, which I’ve submitted for consideration in a textiles exhibition early next year.
Free Form Series 01 was created with the intent to play and explore the techniques of cross-stitch in a similar way to abstract drawing or painting. Normally cross-stitch follows a specific pattern which is determined prior to starting a project. The only pre-planned factors in this series were the two complimentary colours that were selected for each piece. By utilizing various stitches and colour combinations the possibilities and potential outcomes become infinite.
