As a ' Visual Story Teller' my artwork often has a narrative - this jacket is from a body of work made for an exhibition. I wrote a story in the style of a Japanese Folk Tale and then illustrated it with slow stitched artefacts.

Kimono style jacket - traditionally these jackets were patched and stitched by many hands as they were handed down through the generations.
This one has also been stitched into by lots of women, and will continue to be added to for many years to come.
The creatures you can see were all mentioned in the story. ..
