Richard McVetis\u2019 artistic practice centres on his training as an embroiderer through the use of traditional hand stitch techniques and mark making.<\/p>\n
Using laboured and meticulously worked wools and multiples of embroidered dots and crosses, he explores the similarities between pen on paper and thread on fabric, using a limited vocabulary of mark making and deliberately subdued colour to create a binary simplicity.<\/p>\n
Richard is a member of the renowned\u00a062 Group of Textile Artists. He was a finalist for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2016 and was selected for Real to Reel: Craft Film Festival during London Craft Week 2017.<\/p>\n
In this article, part of our From conception to creation series, Richard speaks to us about the inspiration for and making process of his beguiling piece Variations of a Stitched Cube, which\u00a0has been selected to be part of the British Council\u2019s Pavilion at the Cheongju Craft Biennale, South Korea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
