‘Vision’ original textile artwork

When I think of the hare and the ash tree the word ‘vision’ comes to my mind, and this is why I have combined the two in this textile artwork. They are both native to Ireland and represent the wild untameable spirit of our beautiful country. The hare is associated with the magic of the moon and the clarity it brings, and the ash tree is traditionally thought to be the gateway to the different realms of existence, and to help visualise the future.  Remind yourself of your vision for your life with this beautiful piece of art!  They are part of a collection of four artworks each including a native wild animal and tree; badger, hare, squirrel and stag. The hare also features in my christmas card collection this year.

This piece of textile art is created using a technique called ‘free motion embroidery’, or ‘thread painting’. I create an underpainting in acrylics of the animal onto cotton fabric, which I then stitch over using my sewing machine and lots of coloured threads. The textile artwork is then built up through layers of thread, using lights and darks, to create a realistic portrait of the animal. As with all my textile art, I am particularly drawn to the eyes as this is where I feel the animal comes to life. To do this I use many tiny stitches. I then carefully cut around the animal and applique / stitch it to my chosen background. I do the same thing with the trees.
