Embroidery has always represented this un-obtainable world of patience, something I was short of. A love for embroidery was something I had in bundles! Eventually the desire to embroider won over, and the patience gradually developed.
I saw the opportunity to combine photography with embroidery during my photographic studies when I embarked on a project photographing modern interiors, buildings and object devoid of surface embellishment. I tentatively stitched into these images trying to find a balance between maintaining the integrity of the photographic image while giving the embroidery a place in its own right in the final object.
