Trace - The Embroidered Art of Michele Carragher

Beschreibung

A sumptuous exploration of the work of renowned embroiderer Michele Carragher.

Autor

Michele Carragher studied Fashion Design before moving into textile conservation, repairing and restoring historical textiles. She then moved into costume embroidery for film and television, whilst continuing to develop her career as a mixed media artist. Embroidery became her main medium, predominantly raised embroidery, combining it with more contemporary techniques to create artwork that is both original and refreshing, and influenced by nature and the use of symbolism, metaphor and narrative. Michele has worked on a number of prestigious productions, including the 2005 costume award-winning production of Elizabeth 1st and more recently The Crown and HBO's multi costume award-winning television series Game of Thrones, working on all seasons to date. The success of Game of Thrones, and the recognition and appreciation of the costumes that she has worked on, have gone on to help highlight Michele's work. Many of the costumes that Michele embroidered for the show have been on exhibition in various museums in the US. Michele's work on the show, along with her own personal textile artworks, have been featured in many renowned craft magazines and other press outlets worldwide, including The New Yorker and The Telegraph.
