Tantalizing Textile

Eleanor Pritchard's body of work drawing inspiration from the collection of English samplers in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and reflecting on the voices of embroiderers from hundreds of years ago. The work offers a contemporary take on folk traditions, reinterpreting age old skills in a new contex (seen below).
