Technical Embroidery is the outcome of my final year exploration of embroidery, I was looking at the similarities between cross stitch and architectural drawings, they both use measured systems to depict an image. I am mixing the idea of home building with home making.
I focused on designing the dream extensions for my family. By embroidering plans I am updating the traditional ‘home sweet home’ embroideries. These show an ideal of what we should strive for in a home often depicting country cottages and log cabins. By sewing extensions I create a much more modern personal ideal that anyone can reach for that can be used a decorative item or even as an actual technical drawing as they are to a 1:50 scale.
