Lynda McDonald - Creative Textiles

My embroidery uses both hand and machine techniques; my creative process just a matter of ‘following the thread’.

My inspiration is the Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi, a Japanese world view centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection, roughly translated as the ability to see beauty in decay, whether this is in the myriad of colours in a rusting object or the tattered layers of a billposter.

I exhibit and sell my work from my home studio and participate in solo, group and selected exhibitions in a number of UK galleries.
