My business cards have arrived this week and look great - I am really pleased with them and how my own logo design has worked out. The work on the main body of the memorial artwork has started. I am working across the width of the fabric in black perle cotton thread and on the first day I managed to work 2cm. From this you can see the scale of the work to be completed by the amount of the length which is folded beneath. The working width spans the length of my dining table. I had planned that the length of each of the stitches would be the same, however, once I began to set the pattern of the work, I decided that I would subtly vary the stitch lengths in certain areas to represent the diversity of the people in the UK who have died of Covid ie different sexes, ethnicities, communities, religions etc. I have calculated that if I carry on working this amount each day it will take me between 2-3 months, but I know that I will not be able to work all day every day on the project and so anticipate that a more realistic time for completion will be between 4-6 months which will take us somewhere between to July to September. I am still trying to raise money which will go towards the mounting and exhibition publicity for this artwork and if you would like to contribute to my memorial project, I would be very grateful.
