About The Artwork
Image of Darren on the last day of his finals. “The fibrous nature of the wool reminds me of muscle tissue. I see the work as a 3D construction and I create the composition from the back and front simultaneously. I create the images from the inside out, repetitively hand stitching and knotting as I go along, adding texture and shade to contrast the highlights and contours of a face till the piece comes to life.” Each piece takes 7 to 10 days to create. Eliot questions our predisposition to look at the big picture; our brains take visual clues over the entire face to ascertain the mood of that person, by only giving the viewer part of the face Eliot takes away many of those clues as to whether the image is happy or sad, sultry or cold and leaves it for the viewer to decide.

United Kingdom
Eliot’s work follows the school of Pointillism. His pieces are created using small distinct dots of colour. Instead of paint his chosen medium is soft fibrous yarn. He literally stitches portraits, an intricate compilation of tiny patterns of stitches and knots. The textures he creates are full of light and shade. Up close his works are a myriad of apparently random textures seemingly woven together, but when viewed from a distance the pieces pull into astoundingly photographic accuracy. He achieves a life-like realism awash with beautifully observed detail. Eliot focuses on just a small section of his subjects, isolating just enough of their face to give an accurate portrait. His economy of scale adds intrigue to the piece, a precious fabric swatch suspended in a state of the art Perspex void. He is an artist who is also an extraordinarily gifted craftsman.
