Annie Morris created a limited edition embroidery exclusively for Château La Coste which responds to the works featured in the exhibition.
The image within the piece shows a female form, echoing her drawings and tapestries. The embroidery, through its colours, is also a reference to Morris's series of sculptures known as “Stacks” – which the artist began creating during a period of grieving in 2014 after the loss of her first child. Their silhouettes, made up of different spheres of varying sizes, have an almost figurative aspect, reminding us of the curves of the pregnant female body.
Fluctuating between abstraction and figuration, like her sculptures this limited edition features one of Morris’s most recurrent motifs – that of random coloured lines. These lines are the result of Morris’s fascination with colours and her experimental work with pigments, which she seeks to grasp in their purest form.
The technique used for this edition is identical to that which he artist employs in her embroideries, involving large stitches of thread on linen. This practice creates an interesting union between the delicacy of the embroidery and the rawness of the fabric.
“There is not a day that goes by that I don’t draw something, and this is the beginning of all my work”
