This textile work is in York Art Gallery. Apparently it's a collaboration between Alice Kettle, a textile artist, and Alex McErlain, a ceramicist. The gallery blurb says that she took his drawings and, "using computer technology and machinery normally used for stitching blazer badges"(!) turned them into textiles.
I like the line drawing effect, and the feel that it's a drawing of an archaeologist's table at a very prolific dig. I'd love to know if he used the drawings to create jugs, and what they looked like if he did.
