Spectacular scenes in silk by Jacqui Parkinson
A vibrant combination This is an astonishing display of twelve huge embroidered panels. Inspired by Genesis, the first book in the Bible, textile artist Jacqui Parkinson retells its wonderful story in a vibrant combination of silks, hand -dyed materials, metallic leathers, gold leaf - with eight million stitches!
Twelve huge panels Jacqui has a national reputation for spectacular, large scale work. Her exhibitions have been displayed in many cathedrals and attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors. This exhibition is touring twenty cathedrals. The panels are nearly 3m high and up to 4m wide. They start with strong elemental pieces illustrating the first days' of creation; then they become more complex and exuberant, as the story takes us into the Garden of Eden.

And it's especially fascinating for anyone who stitches, studying Jacqui's unique techniques close up.
