Embroidery has been the main pillar of my artistic practice for the last 30 years. I stitch over tracing paper, sew on napkins and darn socks. My inspiration comes from family photographs, news images and films such as Wim Wenders’ ‘Wings of Desire’. As well as this, I sew figures based on life drawing sessions and objects on my windowsill. Long, slow and uneconomical – when all else fails, embroidery is my go-to activity.
