During lockdown I began posting my hand embroidery archive online, a mix of objects I had collected, found or been given over the years. This brought back stories and people and reunited me with friends old and new, it also took me on travels far and wide. Requests for some of my own own back catalogue in led to me documenting work and projects going back to 1980.
This includes some collaborative outcomes but there is not enough room in 30 posts to include everything and my work since 2010 exploring the sewn signature as a marker of identity and belonging, will follow in a separate entry.
