This unique edition brings together my father’s sealed photographic archives from over 50 years ago, found after his death, and traditional hand stitching my mother has been practicing, during their time apart, throughout his journeys away as a sailor. The series is the result of a collaboration between me and my mother as the images have been posted between Greece, the UK and Australia throughout the years of this project’s realisation and once delivered we have both proceeded in continuing from each other’s ongoing embroidery act.

From the initial seven unique embroideries only the four pictured below are still currently available as the remaining pieces have been acquired by private collectors in Switzerland, UK and Greece.

Framed artwork dimensions: 31×26 cm, organza fabric, integrated hand-stitch embroidery, framed in 10 mm tulip wood box frame, museum glass, fabric lined backing and fillets. All frames are handmade, stained and varnished in London. All artworks come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Previously exhibited at The Benaki Museum, Athens, Greece (2020), TJ Boulting Gallery, London, UK (2020), Belfast Exposed Gallery, Belfast, Northern Ireland (2022) and Five Walls Gallery, Melbourne, Australia (2023).
