I’m not used to doing portraits of other people …..but recently I received the exciting challenge from Arts Patron Stuart Trent (read more about him here) to do his portrait.

reference for ebroidery
Since I don’t know Stuart on a personal level…
I decided to make a grey-scale embroidered portrait based on the classical sculpture busts.
It also reminded me of a chess piece.
Check mate.
I love the concept of the sculpture – it turned out great!
Many thanks Sune! xx
