A stitch or two

This piece details the hand-embroidery of a large scale sample which will hopefully feature as part of my degree show. The piece is attempting to capture movement and density of mark through varying the scale of the stitch as well as the thickness of thread. I have tried to think carefully about the composition of this piece (which unfortunately the photograph does not quite capture) as I was keen to generate the feeling of a stark and isolated landscape which are often synonymous with the British winter.
