Field To Feast: The Stitch

2011

A long banquet table is set with fine china, hand-embroidered napkins and the ornate centrepiece at the head of the table displaying the guest of honour, the rabbit.

Each of the linen napkins on the table was hand-embroidered by Mavis with detailed diagrams of the skinning process. Guests at the table used the napkins, reinforcing the connections of how our dinner was served. The hand-sewn napkins are also a signifier of the act of stitching the rabbit.
