Thread sewn facsimile with embossing, designed for Somerset based artist Antonia Showering.

Showering works with a rich palette of marigold, amber, carmine, and plum, beginning with abstract layers of paint that pool in configurations shaped by gravity. She then works back into these compositions, a process that recalls the chance-based methods of Surrealism, particularly automatic drawing. The translucent layers of oil paint that build up on her paper and linen supports give her figures an eerie, fleshy vitality, despite their delicate surface.
