Experience a world where resilience meets fragility and strength blends with flexibility. Allow us to introduce Stitch Yourself Together, a collection of three handmade woven artworks that challenge the boundaries of traditional craft and art. Immerse yourself in stories of contrast and harmony that draw you into the elegant interplay of techniques and materials.
These artworks are created using a meticulous weaving process on a floor loom, employing the double cloth technique. They exhibit intricate textures and dimensions, combining two handwoven layers simultaneously with a blend of hand-dyed Seacell yarn, Japanese paper yarn, silk boucle, and ramie. By deliberately contrasting fibre selection and precisely adjusting fabric density, they create a captivating interplay of light and shadow. As you view them, you will notice fresh details every time, making them a true reflection of the dedication to innovation.
They are handwoven and will add elegance and sophistication to your home décor. You can display them individually or as a set to create a focal point in your living room or bedroom.

The “Stitch Yourself Together” collection was created to explore textile art beyond its traditional use and challenge the perceived value of fabric. Inspired by reflections during the lockdown, it features loom-controlled stitched marks that symbolise resilience and strength. By delving into the history and symbolism of embroidery, the collection examines the human tradition of adorning ourselves with hidden messages. The weaving process contrasts denser, stronger weaves with softer, yielding ones, reflecting outer facades versus inner selves. The artwork is made from a blend of hand-dyed Seacell warp and paper yarn weft, creating a textured and intricate appearance that represents the idea of strength within fragility. By blurring the line between art and functionality, the piece encourages viewers to contemplate the deep and meaningful stories woven into the fabric.
