A one-of-a-kind, manually embroidered tapestry.
Created over approximately three to five months of free-motion embroidery, this piece marks the concluding chapter in the unfortunate tale of the Frog Knights.
A scene of complete decimation, depicting the brutal downfall of a courageous band of amphibian warriors. Scattered throughout the composition, the fallen knights meet their fate at the hands of the two principal characters of our story. Though they may be its protagonists, calling them heroes would perhaps be a little generous.
Every element of this piece has been painstakingly constructed using a sewing machine as a drawing tool, building up layers of thread to create an intricate, illustrated world. From the individual characters to the surrounding chaos, the tapestry is the result of several months of continuous work, exploration and refinement.
This piece holds a particularly special place in my collection. It was conceived at the very beginning of my five-month stay in Japan, with the intention of carrying it through the entirety of my time there. What started as an idea in the early days of my journey eventually became one of its defining projects, completed shortly before my departure.
I was fortunate enough to exhibit the finished piece at The Bar Brothers in Kitami, Japan, shortly before leaving the country. In many ways, its completion marked the end of a chapter, both for the story of the Frog Knights and for my own time in Japan.
The tapestry features a soft, padded, quilt-like construction, finished with four reclaimed button fastening loops for display. These can be used to hang the piece directly or accommodate an alternative hanging arrangement.
An entirely original, one-of-a-kind artwork. No reproductions or duplicates will be made.
All sales are final. Upon wining the Auction you will be emailed a link to purchase at the final price.
