Caroline Turner

My inspiration comes from a nostalgic view of the past, from carefree schooldays to vintage interiors and fashions. I often begin by creating a paper collage scene which I then translate into either hand or machine appliqué using a variety of textures, embellished with both hand and machine embroidery. The finished piece has a naive style where nothing is to scale and objects appear stylised.

This piece was made for the 2012 Ten+ Exhibition in Stoke.
