Flying across an embroidery

Back in 2016 I worked on a commission for the Royal Shakespeare Company.  As part of the events to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death the RSC asked artists to make work in response to cast and creative’s favourite quotes.  I worked with composer Isobel Waller-Bridge’s choice of Caliban’s speech from ‘The Tempest’.  I focussed on two elements of the speech; firstly the part where Caliban likens noises on the island to ‘a thousand twangling instruments’ and secondly the part where Caliban speaks of dreaming and clouds.
The video above is a rendering film showing the digitisation of the embroidery.
