Written by Visit the Knitting and Stitching Shows on Sunday, the 9th October (at Alexandra Palace) to meet Michele and pick-up a signed copy of her book.
The book is a comprehensive insight into Michele’s work, it guides you from her initial ideas, right through to the finished, astonishing pieces of work, collectively entitled ‘Trace‘.
Rich in symbolism and drawing inspiration from throughout history, the book contains three created, embroidered artefacts: a lavish glove, jewelled bodice and Japanese-style hairpin. From these she extracts a narrative which becomes the basis for three embroidered artworks, exploring the theme of duality.
The books begins with an immersive, exquisitely photographed gallery tour of all the pieces, showcasing Michele’s work in incredible detail. Following on from this, each artefact and artwork is discussed in detail, giving insight into the working process, creative choices and techniques used.
Michele has worked for many years in the film and TV industry, including as Costume Embroiderer for Game of Thrones, The Nevers, Peaky Blinders and The Crown. The last chapter of the book features a selection of images from her inspiring catalogue of work.
