Exhibition views

The show is up and looks rather good I think! I am showing a mixture of old and new works. As well as 10 of the Crowd Cloud figures. The space is great and shows off each individual work well. Here are a couple of pictures to give the general idea.



This lady just happened to be standing there and I think its good to have a real figure in there with the stitched ones.
However you need to get down there and see the real thing. Its at Rochester Art Gallery in Kent.

The Sketchbook Project


I've just sent my book off to Brooklyn for the sketchbook project. Have a look here for more info about this. You could choose from various titles for your sketchbook and mine is "Along the Line" I decided to make an accordion style book featuring lots of stitched drawings of figures walking along a line. Here's a couple of pictures of the end result.
