‘Dancing in the Shadows’ – 71cm x 65cm framed – ‘Into The Wild’ Collection

‘Dancing In The Shadows’
From the Into the Wild Collection

Dancing In The Shadows is part of my Into the Wild collection, inspired by quiet, seasonal walks through the wild corners of Sussex and the South Downs. I’m especially drawn to the shaded places—where plants grow freely and closely, twisting and layering in beautiful, quiet harmony. Later in the year, I forage for dry grasses and seedheads, which inspire my embroidery and are also used to create unique, one-off monoprints within the work.

This original painting is created on cotton canvas using textile paints and spray paints. Layers are built using real botanicals to form organic shapes and textures. Appliqué, free-motion embroidery, and hand stitching add a rich, tactile dimension to the surface.

• Mounted on: Textured Arches watercolour paper with hand stitch detail
