Textures of the BIlly Trail
Seeing the changing of the seasons on the Billy trail (Hayling Island) is an absolute pleasure. These stitched drawings are a record of the changing textures/ colours and light over a 3 month period. Each is based on photography that emphasises something about place and then is manipulated and sketches. Viewed through a lens.
