A Stitch for Every Sound

Gavin captures the discreet soundscape of my embroidery – using highly sensitive recording devices to detect the sonic textures in the moment of stitchery. The subsequent layering of sound and embroidered fragments presents an intricate interplay between the graphic form and poetic language of embroidery within the acoustic structures of sound-based work. The creative oscillations between sound, stitchery and site-specificity playfully honour traditions of collective textile making to inspire thoughts about textiles metaphoric potential when fragments of haptic experience are pieced together using the process of attentive listening.
