Just browsing the web (as you do) looking for interesting textile artists and I found this lady.
I am impressed by the scale of her work. Alice has a permanent piece in WINCHESTER DISCOVERY CENTER.

" a narrative work which shows the scattered imagery of a historical city and its attitude to the present and vision of the future."
This piece has an ethereal quality to it, the clarity of the face and closed eyes expression make the figure seem quiet, dreamy, evoking feelings of stillness. The body twists, the figure has movement and detail on the body is added by the use of colored thread to depict hair under arm.
I like the fact that the figures in her work are always drawn with imperfection. Great thought is given to how the body is represented. Alice first trained as a painter and I feel this shows in her work in stitch.
