The Inkpot Print

I'm a journalist and embroidery artist based in London. I create intricate embroideries of British landscapes. I work from a mixture of photographs and drawings taken in the field, and feel a particular affinity for the South Downs where I grew up. My embroideries are sewn into recycled and reclaimed textiles to create sustainable works, and I also experiment with natural dying to create the right thread shades. Working also as a newspaper reporter, I bring my journalistic and artistic practices together through a belief that fair and reflective representation of our world - in all mediums - is essential to understanding our place in it.
