The overall theme of my personal project is Nostalgia, stemming from a collection of childhood photos gathered as primary visual research. These photos have been carefully selected through colour palette, composition and the people within them.
The final pieces are a collection of one-off embroidered ‘keepsakes’ due to the personal nature of the research. Each piece captures memories and provokes nostalgia to the viewer through stitched visual storytelling. I hope that this would lead to commission-based work for those wishing to capture a moment of life through a one-off textile piece. With this in mind, this specific project is a commission to myself and my family. Katherine Murphy
