thrum (2016)
An embroidery on off-white linen. A thyroid cartilage is stitched in thick black thread like a woodcut. Below it the word “thrum” is stitched in ochre thread in a type-like font. To the bottom right the initials L.P. are stitched in thin thread the same colour as the linen.
Autumnal Mitosis Sampler (2024)
Two cells dividing embroidered on off white linen. A circle of brown stem stitch is the cell membrane, the corona radiata is in bright orangey yellow zig zag chain stitch. The edges of the dividing cells are in bright orange split stitch. The nucleolus of each cell is in bright yellow bullion stitch. The cytoplasm is stitched in variegated orange/brown thread in a mix of seed stitch and French knots. Lia’s initials are stitched in off white whipped back stitch.
woman in skull (2016)
An embroidery on bone coloured linen of the inside of a human skull looking down from a cut open top done in thin black thread. The textures make it look like the Vesalius woodcut it is based on. In the bottom left corner of the skull there is the tiny silhouette of a woman done in bronze thread.
Stars within, stars without (2017). Face detial . An embroidery on ochre linen. There is the outline of a head and neck. There are blue filigree lines coming from the sides of the head outline towards the centre of the face. A fine off white line outlines the head and moves down the neck and out along the arms. On the centre chest is a cluster of off-white crosses and a few sparse crosses are around the head and shoulders as well.
