Julia van den Bosch

The Seasons embroideries show a selection of some of the hand-stitched textile work that has been inspired by discoveries in the countryside throughout the seasons.

These embroideries give me the chance to portray the things I love and translate them into lasting stitched and textural artworks. Colours and shapes of flowers, bleached grass and golden cornfields at harvest time, spiders' webs on the structures of decaying seed heads. And one very lucky moment – still to be worked into an embroidery – a rare glimpse of the northern lights and a shooting star.
