Artist: Katerina Knight

A blonde woman is a white t-shirt, wearing simple gold jewellery, stands just behind two overlapping stretches of translucent fabric, each embroidered with tiny flowers. The one running diagonally is a very thin, delicate pink chiffon decorated with tiny blue flowers; the other runs more vertically – a delicate web of incredibly thin natural fibres embroidered with tiny flowers and petals.

Katerina is a textile artist.

Working with embroidery, needle lace and natural dyeing, Katerina produces one-of-a-kind textile artefacts that forge links to the ancient origins of craft, and explore personal, spiritual and ecological healing through making. Working slowly and sensitively, her machine and chemical free practice is built on a foundation of hand-based skills, techniques, labour and tools. The materials for her work are deeply connected to nature’s cycles, rhythms and processes, gathered from the land over time, foraged locally, or grown on her allotment in Worcestershire.
