Drawing studies - private study

Here I have been playing about with the images in some old photos of me and my father.  I want to use these images to create a series of pictures that peel back the layers that time and sophistication have built up to try to recreate the halcyon days of my childhood.

I have used this image to create an embroidered drawing

Using embroidery to create the drawing of a young girl is also questioning both her role in society and her femininity - embroidery being very much a feminine means of expression.
