Hand-stitched using my nana’s thread, to a page (WOLS Composition, 1950) from this.

Cyrille Regis, died 14th January, 2018. A proper hero. Would’ve been 60 today. Photograph (Rex Features) cut from the London Evening Standard (15.1.18).

Michael Bond, died 27th June, 2017. Thank you for the words you chose, the ones you didn’t, and the perfect order in which they were placed. Image cut from the London Evening Standard (14.12.17). Still from Paddington 2. Cinematographer: Erik Wilson.

Peter Wyngarde, died 15th January, 2018. Actor. Always. Image cut from the Guardian (19.1.18). ITV/Rex/Shutterstock.

They have been stitched (using my nana’s thread, as always) to a print of Sea-Monsters And Vessels At Sunset by Turner (1845, Tate). Watercolour with touches of chalk on paper.

All of my work is individually numbered, this piece is 862.
