This visually stunning book delves into a new way of working, inspiring artists to explore fresh and innovative angles in their embroidery and textile creations.

Illustrated with a wealth of examples of the author's own work and pieces from other data-focused artists worldwide, "Record, Map, and Capture in Textile Art" serves as a testament to the fact that data can be both beautiful and inspiring, leading to stunning works of stitched art.
