Sea Whip

Meredith’s work explores the power and fragility of nature through intricately embroidered sculptures. The shapes and patterns found in coral and leaves are replicated in tiny stitches that build up to form specimen like constructions that are light and delicate. Each piece is carefully mounted onto paper with pins to give the embroidery relief from the page so that it captures the light and flings shadows onto the paper creating depth, volume and movement. Her work explores themes of the interconnectedness of living things and environmental degradation.
