This is the main tumblog of Silvie Kilgallon. I'm a conceptual artist and my work is largely influenced by my academic interests in classics, ancient history, translation, and philosophy of language. This blog details conceptual, casual and personal projects on which I am currently working. To see the Stitched Iliad project, please check out the Stitched Iliad blog below.

Hopefully a present for someone. Started yesterday. So far, we have French knots, woven wheels (whipped and unwhipped) bullion knots, cast on stitch, button hole wheel, heavy chain, and stem stitch.
This represents about five hours work. It's not the sewing that takes so much time, but the jumping around, finding the next spot, occasionally undoing, realising you've forgotten a solitary N somewhere and finding the thread out again just to fill in that one letter. This is just under half of the planned piece. It's William Blake's 'The Divine Image'.
Each code is an individual letter of the alphabet; so far it's letters A - L.
12/36. One third done. It’s really nice to have a project that doesn’t take months/years to complete.
I SHALL reach line 100 before day 20, I shall!
It's good to be working daily on this project again.
Day 17.
Far left is plaited braid stitch. Took me a couple of attempts to get the rhythm sorted.
