Embroidered Thoughts on Fabric

These are images of recent work. The process begins by constructing an image on paper, transferring the image to fabric (tracing on a light table) and then stitching. My sources include old photos, illuminated manuscripts and grid sensitivity from growing up in the agricultural Midwest. Each image is long calculated before I begin to stitch because each piece can take months to complete. However, I often find the end result takes on a different or enhanced interpretation than the initial drawing.
