Summer Showcase: Exploration with Mold Growth through Embroidery

Through out lockdowns I had been documenting mold growth which has fascinated me with the texture of fuzziness, the colour distribution and the overall 3d effect produced through the spores. 

I decided to reproduce and draw one of my documented mold spores into a textiles embroidered piece. I wanted to explore the texture of mold and producing 3D samples through fabric and stitch. I was able to do this successfully on my " Mold Growth" sample as the build-up of knot stitches creates a textured layer while giving a 3D appearance.
