Icons

This series of work was produced to show my own faith and spirituality.  The work is for sale unless otherwise stated.

Rainbow Jack

Produced for the “I can sing a rainbow” Exhibition at Studio 61.  For this work, I took the symbols of the major 
religions and applied them to a Union Jack motif.  The fabric used in this piece was donated by a Sikh family, 
and was bought in India. The idea was to produce an image that promoted religious and ethnic diversity in the 
UK and a hope that we can all coexist peacefully.  The colours of the fabric also represent the colours of the 
Gay Pride flag, making it personal to myself. The free machining in the fabric was performed 
by the manufacturer.

Methods:  Applique, machine embroidery, couched cord.

Adam and Steve
( a successful symbiosis of faith)

This image represents the coming together of the two faiths that have influenced my life.  
The cross representing Christianity, into which I was baptised, and the Ohm representing 
Buddhism which has become my adopted faith.  
Reds were used to give a sense of warmth.

Methods: Silk paint, gutta and free machine embroidery.
