Each day I create one small, quick and loose stitching - they capture my feelings, mood and the moment in time in which they are created. When I am unable to work at my sewing machine (for example, when I am on holiday), I instead work with pen and ink.
Here are 366 daily stitch drawings from 12 months of daily practice. Image number one shows the daily stitch drawings in a calendar grid format. The first column represents Monday, the second Tuesday and so on. The first row represents November 2023, the second December 2023, the third January 2024 and so on. The first stitching in each row therefore represents the 1st day of that month and shows the stitching created on that day.
The stitchings can be presented either in a calendar grid format (as in image one) or in towers of daily stitch. Both methods of display present a visual representation of the movement of time. Each level of the towers is created from seven daily stitchings (one week). Each week gets stacked on top of the next. As the layers are combined the towers (and grid) start to show how days morph into weeks, and weeks morph into months. Image two presents 12 months of daily stitch drawings – the tower on the left shows the stitchings from November and December 2023 (with the 1stNov at the bottom and the 31st Dec at the top). The second tower brings together the stitchings from January, February and March 2024, the third April and May, the fourth tower shows the stitchings from June, July and August and the tower on the right shows the stitchings from September and October 2024.
The calendar grid (image 1) has been turned into a limited-edition print – click here for more details.
