My work aims to revitalize cross stitch, proving its viability as a modern day graphic medium. In an attempt to achieve this I fuse this traditional hand stitching technique with imagery from my visual universe, a mix of street art and pop culture. I am particularly inspired by image reproduction techniques, be it in photography or a printing process, attempting to see if, and how, it can be recreated in cross stitch. To accurately render and mimic the original technique that inspired its conception demands a high level of precision, some pieces taking up to a year of hand stitching to complete. It is exactly this dedication to precision, acquired over a decade of working in couture fashion, which drives my evolution of this craft into the realm of fine art.
