Rosie James - Worth The Wait [NX077]

In this episode of NeedleXChange, I interview Rosie James, a textile artist renowned for her free-motion embroidery that captures fleeting human moments. Rosie’s work explores movement, liminality, and the unseen narratives of crowds, often stitching figures frozen in time from photographs she takes in public spaces.Timestamps:00:00:00 – Intro00:01:46 – Absurdism, liminality, and waiting in Rosie’s work00:10:27 – Documenting movement through stitch00:19:35 – The role of loose threads in capturing energy00:28:10 – From print to embroidery: Rosie’s artistic journey00:35:55 – Crowd Cloud and the transition to large-scale installationsLinks:Website: rosiejamestextileartist.wordpress.comInstagram: rosiejamestextileartistIntro music is The Juggler by Ch@ntarelle via Epidemic Sound.About NeedleXChange:NeedleXChange is a conversation podcast with embroidery and textile artists, exploring their process and practice.Hosted by Jamie "Mr X Stitch" Chalmers, it is an in-depth showcase of the best needlework artists on the planet.Visit the NeedleXChange website: https://www.needl.exchange/Sign up for the NeedleXChange Newsletter here: https://bit.ly/NeedleXChangeNewsIf you want embroidery inspiration and regular doses of textile art, visit the Mr X Stitch site here: https://www.mrxstitch.comIf you're looking for modern cross stitch designs, then XStitch is the magazine you need!Subscribe to XStitch Magazine here: https://xstitchmag.com/modern-cross-stitch-magazine/And follow Mr X Stitch on all the usual social media channels!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrXStitchTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/MrXStitchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/MrXStitchPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mrxstitch/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrjamiechalmersRSSVERIFY Hosted on Acast.
