MORE THAN A HOBBY

ARTIST MILOU STELLA TALKS ABOUT THE ART OF EMBROIDERY

“I believe embroidery

to be a radical tool to make art. Its slow pace and longstanding association with acts of resistance and

wellbeing suits my passion for garment

upcycling. I really

don’t see embroidery

as ‘merely’ decorative. Inspired by folklore and folk art, it makes me think of the richness of people’s lives and stories.”
