EMBROIDERED ARTWORK, DEVELOPED DIRECTLY FROM A LIFE DRAWING AND INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE FROM THREAD USING FREEHAND MACHINE EMBROIDERY.
In these thread drawings Juliet explores her identity and the experience of being a woman: empowerment, strength, sensuality, self love, vulnerability and our connections with others. She conveys a sense of a woman’s inner landscape and her connection to her environment.

Juliet says, “I choose to work in thread, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool, as I love the extremely expressive quality of the thread drawn line. All of my pieces begin as pencil/ mixed media drawings on paper, working directly from the life model. In designing the thread drawings, I carefully choose colours, patterns, textures from my large collection of preloved fabrics to convey the emotion, character and atmosphere that I wish to communicate in the piece.”
