Fly Stitch Sand Ripples

2014
Size: 25 x 10 x 25 cm
Acrylic box, cotton threads, organza fabric

Exhibited in 62 Group exhibition ‘Ebb and Flow’, Grimsby 2014

The ebb and flow of the tide that shapes the sand at Cleethorpes beach into sculpted ripples inspired this work which is stitched in a three dimensional interpretation of fly stitch. The sunlight playing over the sand creates ever changing shades of colour.
