Synopsis

Early-morning walks with Jarvis’s golden retriever, Quince, provide the starting point for eight embroidered vignettes that capture seasonal change across winter and spring. Local wildlife appears in stitched scenes, from a badger moving through frosty undergrowth and a fox beside a misty meadow to sparrows in hedgerows and a moth opening delicately patterned wings.

Each design explores the interdependence of animal and plant life through flowing lines, intricate patterning, and a considered balance of texture and colour. The pieces are worked onto printed panels using wool, silk, cotton and metallic threads, supported by extensive colour illustration throughout.
