By Karen Suzuki
Based in a studio in Glasgow's east end, Karen hand stitches textile objects that are anthropomorphic in character, with inspirations including old, worn toys, Staffordshire pottery, folk crafts and stop-motion animation. Karen also makes a small number of objects, such as pigeons, influenced by urban wildlife.
These colourful Characters, are one-off hand stitched bunny brooches in Harris Tweed with embroidered faces that develop their own expressions during the stitching process.
