GPS Embroidery – On Cultivation ( at Hestercombe Gardens, Somerset from 4th November 2025)

 GPS Embroidery is an ongoing walking project that aims to broaden ideas about who-gets-to-write-what in and about the British landscape. “Embroidering” traces with a GPS tracker subverts traditional associations with women and domesticity, making a claim for female self-expression beyond the home.

“On Cultivation” brings well-known 18th century gardens into an irreverent conversation with this work.  Landscape gardens are among England’s most celebrated artistic achievements, but they also arranged nature into expressions of taste, power and order that came at a cultural cost. 

Blending the sublime and the beautiful through walking, these GPS Embroideries gently reflect on the ways we interpret the landscapes of the past at a time when many are reshaping our connections to these historic places.
