Suzhou Silk Embroidery

Images made one thread at a time. Fine silk stitches and subtle changes of colour invite you to slow down and look closer.

Suzhou embroidery reveals itself in the details: the direction of a stitch, the choice of thread and the gradual building of an image. Looking at both the finished work and the act of stitching brings this patient craft to life.
