Anita Carnell
Anita, a Norfolk based artist, has exhibited her inspiring work around the world- gaining many accolades for her ability to capture beauty with striking simplicity and undeniable originality.
Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of, ‘Yohaku no bi’– ‘the beauty of space left empty’, an intangible space – a space of delicate potential, Anita explores the empty, the light and the shadow, converging them to create exquisite hand-stitched works of art.
Using traditional embroidery techniques and British historical materials, she creates panels hand stitched in golden wires, the very same used by Royalty and Guilds for over three centuries, onto organic plant-based, vegan cactus leather – an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative. Her unique style of hand sculpting these materials manifests in remarkable, inspirational pieces that display the ephemeral, fragile beauty of the spaces in between.
