Stitching nature: the lifelike embroidered sculptures of Amanda Cobbett

Amanda Cobbett, a British contemporary textile artist, takes embroidery to a whole new level. Inspired by the natural world, Cobbett creates incredibly lifelike three-dimensional sculptures of mushrooms and lichen using embroidery techniques. Her meticulous stitching and keen eye for detail result in works that are both beautiful and captivating.

Cobbett’s process begins by sketching and photographing her chosen subject in nature. She then translates these observations into detailed embroidery patterns. Using a variety of threads and fabrics, Cobbett painstakingly builds up the forms of her sculptures, layer by layer. The finished pieces are not only visually stunning but also surprisingly durable. They can be displayed on a wall or shelf, or even hung from the ceiling.

Cobbett’s work celebrates the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Her sculptures are a testament to the power of embroidery as an art form. They invite viewers to take a closer look at the often-overlooked details of the natural world around them.
