A live stitched artwork, created in real time- powered by people, place, and connection.
Harriet stitches from life throughout your event - documenting people, moments, and atmosphere directly onto fabric.
The artwork evolves in real time, becoming both a visual record and a shared experience.
Guests can power the sewing machine by pedalling a bicycle -
turning the act of making into a shared experience.
The piece becomes shaped not just by what’s visible - but by what people remember, feel, and say.
Live stitched portrait via Zoom, watch your artwork unfold in real time.
A 35-minute session where I stitch your likeness as we talk, weaving fabrics and words from your story into the piece.
My presentation is about my travels around the world with a sewing machine.
I speak about how I use my art as its own language and how it can incite interactions and adventures with the world.
I intend the talk to take the listeners on a colourful journey, from cycling across India to pedal-powered sewing machines.
During the talk, I perform a live stitched portrait demonstration of one of the guests, a camera on my sewing machine allows the viewers to watch the portrait come to life.
