Inside and Out

‘Inside and Out’ is a series of five embroidered neck pieces exploring the human connection through the use of anatomical imagery. Putting a microscope on the mind, body and soul connection. These pieces focus on selected anatomical imagery’ the hands, heart, eyes, veins, and teeth which Lizzie has chosen for their diversity in colour and texture.  The aim to celebrate the beauty of anatomy, while reimagining various elements through the use of embroidery.

The five pieces contain a rare of different techniques, including: crewelwork, tambour, beading, raised-work and hints of gold work. Lizzie has chosen these for their textural qualities and versatility. She has assess the object that she wanted to represent carefully, always thinking about what effect the overall piece will have, pairing techniques and materials to emphasise the qualities of my chosen imagery.
