Artist Interview - Dr Jack Roberts

Dr. Jack Roberts, aka JPR Stitch is a fine artist whose primary medium is freehand machine embroidery. His art is formed from simple organic flowing abstract shapes, but is constructed from a dense and complex web of stitch. His stitchings are a reflection of the calmness, tranquillity and contentedness that he feels when sitting at the sewing machine and creating. Sewing is his meditation and the art emerges from this experience.

“The experience is important to me, it rebalances me, but this sense of balance flows into the art. The colour and pattern have impact, it draws you in. As you get closer you see the complex web of stitch, your field of vision becomes filled with the dense, detailed and overlapping labyrinth of stitch - you get lost in the detail. You might begin to try and visually ‘unpick’ the stitches, following the threads as they loop and weave through the fabric and each other. I hope my stitchings gives others the space in a busy world to find a sense of balance, tranquillity and calmness.”

Part of his ‘process’ has become the sharing of the story – Instagram is his sketchbook, journal and diary. He uses this space to talk about his art, share the making process and explore ideas.
