Embroidery Commissioned Stitching Maps
I did a series of embroided canvases mapping 7 areas along the South Downs Way, which where shown at the Towner Gallery. As a result of this exhibition, I chose to use the process taken to make the series to make personalised maps. I find people like to commission a place they know well, which has a special memory about it; be it the place where you had your first kiss, went to on holiday as a child, the place you gave birth, got married, started your business, had an adventure, the location of your dream home or just a place that you like.
The map is made to your location and centered on a particular spot.
A variation of contour lines, roads, rivers and railway lines informed from an Ordinance Survey map are sewed onto herring bone linen using machine embroidery techniques.
Contour Canvases are usually made within 3 weeks once I have received your payment, sometimes tighter deadlines can be accommodated.
Please get in touch to discuss any stitching map ideas.
