ABOUT CHLOE

I am an embroider with keen interest in alternative embellishments and sustainable design. My work predominantly combines embroidery, surface pattern techniques such as screen printing and natural dyeing. I enjoy the multidisplinary freedom of designing both the embellishment and the substraight used to stitch upon.

​

Primary research is often my starting point for designing,
gaining information from exhibitions and museums. Using analogue photography I can capture snapshots of inspiration from all over the world. I favour film over digital photography because it is a more intimate technique. I like the unpredictability of exposing and developing the film, you never know what you may get.

​

Similarly, I prefer hand embroidery opposed to digital, because I enjoy the control, figuring where each stitch will go, making changes through the design process to incorporate beading where possible.
