Stewart Francis Easton is a London, UK Based artist whose work emphasizes the need to create using the hand and focussed mind. His pieces are meditative hand stitched embroideries consisting of abstract shapes and colors, made through a process of removing narrative and deliberately slowing down. Easton’s work, though utterly meticulous, also has an air of lightheartedness at its core.
Short Bio
Breaking the traditional boundaries of craft, Stewart Francis Easton’s work fuses together hand embroidery, sonic art and music.
Drawing upon and using folk song, story and social history as a starting point Easton works with the space and weight of story to create large scale wall-based pieces which emphasize the passage of time within a single panel.
Easton emphasizes the need to create using the hand as it is in this process that a
connection is made with the story allowing a slowing down and immersion in the moment.
Most recently Easton has been exploring the connection between the process of hand embroidery / expansion of awareness / and abstract forms into a body of hand stitched works documenting a daily practice of stitching meditation.
