Alice Gillingham creates textiles based around the beauty of the British countryside and all the animals and creatures within it, creating stories and scenes in her own illustrative style.
Her working style stems from a childhood love for embroidery and investigating ways that these techniques can be developed and combined with other processes such as fabric manipulation and print. Alice often uses found or used materials within her work such as vintage embroideries as she loves the way they add their own story and history to her pieces. The imagery for her work is all hand drawn in her own illustrative style which she then recreates using fabric and stitch making each piece slightly different and giving the animals their own individual characters.
The way the embroidery types intermingle makes this piece really charming and quaint.
