“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work if it is not open.”

― Frank Zappa

My practice led research artwork has now been fully completed at the University of Huddersfield. I make this claim with mixed emotions, as I am incredibly happy to have successfully finished my Digital Embroidered Portrait Artwork and yet I am rather sad that it has come to an end. Time really does fly when you are having fun! And what an unexpected; interesting 2 year journey into textile art it has proven to be. However, now the time has come to reflect on my practice led research and to continue writing my thesis…

The left hand image below, is the very first digital embroidered self-portrait of myself. The right hand image below, is my final digital embroidered self-portrait of the Amaya Embroidery Machine. Both embroidered artworks were produced via the Amaya Digital Embroidery Machine & CAD/Design Shop Pro.
