The Magnificence of Embroidery Exhibition by Hong Ying YAO is now back in Christchurch.

Ms YAO uses both parallel and random stitches. The needle is her paintbrush, and the threads are the colours. She incorporates thin and thick threads, long and short stitches and different techniques of colour, layering and winding to create combinations of lines with rich expressions.

For a two-dimensional embroidery piece, shiny threads with a mix of colours and techniques are used.
