Jennifer Morris has been working in the traditional embroidery technique of counted cross-stitch for over10 years. Her primary focus is on the ways of patterning. She uses the linear aspects of counted cross-stitch to focus on methods of pattern making. Inspiration comes from the cross referencing of the digital language of computers and the traditional language of the counted cross stitch, where dot pixel in computer terminology becomes a direct analogy for threads per inch. She puts a non-traditional spin on the typical and historic counted cross-stitch designs. Inspired by elements of chaos theory, fractal geometry and the illusion of depth, she represents these concepts using a linear pattern of the weave of the cloth with variegated dyed threads and the base fabric. All her work is done as a drawing with no pattern or concept as to where the work will take her.
