- A Chaos of Threads and Nothing that MatchesEmily Thomas explores curiosities of everyday life. Intrigued by the processes we have each day to get ready. Gathering narratives and routines have inspired drawing and mark making. From spontaneously flicking paint with hair bobbles, to painting with an electric toothbrush; every intricate texture and line is examined. Translating this into embroidery it is created by hand with rigour and a strong sense of craftsmanship. This collection focuses on her own personal, unorganised and sometimes chaotic routine. This has been captured through the threads that appear to be tangled together in a disorderly manner and vibrant colours that paint the pictures in her daydreams. Capturing this wit and humour within her work gives Thomas’s craft driven approach to embroidery a fresh and intriguing aesthetic.
