HARMONY OF SHAPES

'Harmony of Shapes’, her current collection, is a series of embroidered golden tiles, designed to create an optical illusion which shimmer and reflect the light, drawing the viewer closer. Inspired by the Byzantine mosaics and colour theory, Alex has explored how the same colour and material can be stitched in different ways to create different textures, shadows and movement. Created by couching with Japanese gold thread and chipping on silk dupion, Alex's work is a modern and vibrant use of traditional and historical Goldwork embroidery techniques.
