Harmonic Convergence, 2017. Cotton embroidery on canvas (framed) 27.6 x 32.7 in. (70 x 83 cm.) by Stewart Francis Easton

Stewart Easton

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.

  

STEWART FRANCIS EASTON (B. 1976, United Kingdom) Easton has had a number of solo/ group shows both in the UK and USA. His work is part of private collections in the UK and Internationally.

Stewart Francis Easton lives and works in London, UK.

 

Lojong series

The Lojong works are an exploration onto the Tibetan Buddhist teaching of the Lojong Practice.

Lojong is a mind training practice based around a set of ‘slogans’ which are used as a focus of contemplation to broaden the awareness and train the mind.
This practice has been transferred to work with the form of hand embroidery which Stewart Easton uses to create non narrative based abstract embroideries.
