Today I wandered over to Rochester to see Rosie James' latest exhibition Passing Reflections.
As always, Rosie's work is beautiful in its simplicity and impressive in it's scale. I am always excited by the way she chooses which lines to stitch and how these lines really capture the figures. On her larger pieces I like the smaller details she includes that really adds to the character and personality of the people.
Trafalgar Lunch
I particularly liked Trafalgar Lunch in this exhibition and Indian Ladies at the Gurdwara. James' use of not only line figures but also silhouettes in brightly coloured fabrics add to the sense of place and culture in these pieces.
Detail - Indian Ladies at the Gurdwara
I was very glad that I got to see Rosie's installation of hanging stitched figures. I had not yet been able to see these pieces in the flesh and being able to view them in this intimate setting was a joy.
The exhibition is open in Rochester until April 13th. If you are in the area I urge you to go see it. You can find out more info here:
