It's the school summer holidays and I'm taking a break. So instead of new chats, I'm replaying some of my old favourites! This is a repeat of episode #8.In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Meredith Woolnough.Meredith Woolnough is an Australian machine embroidery artist whose organic creations are instantly recognisable and simply stunning. Meredith’s art pieces are celebration of the beauty of nature and at the same time, a technical marvel. We talk about her passion for science and nature, the pleasure she gets from teaching, and how her work is much like darning.Timestamps:00:00:15 - Start00:03:30 - How her artistic journey began00:07:15 - How Meredith’s technique is like darning00:12:00 - Her involvement in scientific realms00:21:00 - The 100 Embroideries Project00:24:10 - How Meredith juggles art/life/children00:27:00 - Meredith’s toolset00:32:00 - Teaching embroidery online00:42:00 - Favourite Band00:43:00 - Favourite Podcast00:45:30 - Favourite Film00:46:15 - Favourite Book00:48:00 - Interesting fact that no one knows about Meredith WoolnoughLinks:Website: meredithwoolnough.com.auInstagram: meredithwoolnoughIntro music is Let's Go Find The Sun by Sarah the Illstrumentalist via Epidemic Sound.
