BIOGRAPHY
Meredith Woolnough’s elegant embroidered traceries capture the beauty and fragility of nature in knotted embroidery threads. Through a delicate system of tiny stiches she creates intricate and complex openwork compositions that are then carefully pinned in shadowboxes like preserved specimens.
Meredith maps the frameworks of the various veining systems found in nature to create work that explores the balance, harmony and connectivity of life on earth. Inspired by the patterns, structures and shapes found in plants, coral, cells and shells her embroideries represent both the robust beauty and elegant fragility of life.
