The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
I’m please to share that Time Stands Still and Numb have been jury selected for the Any Other Business exhibition with Prism Textiles.
The exhibition takes place at The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park, Clinton Road, London E3 4QY from 4th-14th April 2025.
The exhibition has been beautifully curated and here are a few images of my own work on display.
Time Stands Still is about the grief and heartache of losing a dear loved one.
It’s a very personal and emotional piece of hand embroidery that was difficult to design, compose and stitch. It captures the visceral moments of an emotional trauma. This kind of experience leaves you completely numb, your world comes to a complete halt, and time stands still.
These are moments which I now reflect on as an observer, feeling unable to reconcile the harrowing pain experienced by all.
The work has taken a year to design and stitch and was designed whilst I was mourning a loved one. Creating the piece helped me through my own grieving process.
Size 21 x 21 cm (40 x 40cm framed), hand embroidered vintage dark grey Sylko thread on cotton cloth.
Created as a companion piece for ‘Numb‘.
This artwork has been jury selected for the Prism Textiles ‘Any Other Business’ 2025 exhibition, The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park, Clinton Road, London E3 4QY from 4th-14th April 2025.
I’m pleased to announce that Summer ’76 and Summer 2022 Part 1 & 2 have been selected by Prism Textiles for the Edgelands exhibition.
The exhibition takes place at The Art Pavilion, Mile End Park, London E3 4QY, 19 – 29 April 2024. Free entry.
I’ll be stewarding on the 29th April, so if you’re in London pop along and say ‘Hi!’
In 2023 I was honoured to be accepted into Prism and this is the first year I’ll be exhibiting my work with them.
