AN EMBROIDERED ARTWORK, DEVELOPED DIRECTLY FROM A LIFE DRAWING AND INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE FROM THREAD USING FREEHAND MACHINE EMBROIDERY.

In these thread drawings Juliet explores the experience of being a woman: empowerment, strength, sensuality, self love, vulnerability and our connections with others. She conveys a sense of a woman’s inner landscape and her connection to her environment.

‘Yes!’ was created in response to the result of Australia’s referendum for Marriage Equality.

Juliet says, “I choose to work in thread, using the sewing machine as a drawing tool, as I love the extremely expressive quality of the thread drawn line. All of my pieces begin as pencil/ mixed media drawings on paper, working directly from the life model. In designing the thread drawings, I carefully choose colours, patterns, textures from my large collection of preloved fabrics to convey the emotion, character and atmosphere that I wish to communicate in the piece.”

Juliet’s Thread Sketch designs are individually handmade and can be made to order.
