Synopsis

Exquisitely photographed throughout, this book follows Carragher’s work from early ideas through to the finished pieces that make up Trace. Drawing on symbolism and inspiration from across history, it centres on three created embroidered artefacts: a lavish glove, a jewelled bodice and a Japanese-style hair pin.

The opening gallery section offers an immersive tour of the complete body of work, before each artefact and related artwork is examined in depth, with insight into process, creative decisions and techniques. The final chapter brings together a selection of images from her wider catalogue, reflecting a career that includes costume embroidery for HBO’s Game of Thrones and the 2005 Emmy award-winning production Elizabeth I.
