After becoming a mother, Harriet Riddell began redefining her artistic boundaries, a shift that propelled her practice in bold new directions. Inspired by David Hockney’s monumental woodland pieces, she has embraced scale as a central element, pushing the delicate line of thread and needle into something larger, grander, and unexpected. Her work subverts the traditional stitch, expanding it beyond the frame into armchairs, textiles, and materials connected to her subjects. Dancing with digital technology, she further amplifies these stitched worlds, blending craft and innovation. The result is an immersive practice that reimagines how art can occupy space and challenge perception.
