Jacqui Parkinson returns to the Cathedral to showcase her stunning exhibition, 'Threads Through Creation'. The exhibition includes 12 large vibrant panels depicting the Genesis story.
Inspired by the first pages in the Bible, textile artist Jacqui Parkinson uses a vibrant combination of layers of silk, hand-dyed materials, metallic leathers and gold leaf, miles of thread – and more than eight million stitches!
The panels are huge – 1.5m/8ft high by as much as 4m/13ft wide - and vary in appearance from elemental pieces illustrating the first days to highly complex and rich work as we enter the Garden of Eden.
Jacqui's work is designed to be accessible for viewers of all ages. She says:
"It's a pleasure to have the exhibition in Peterborough Cathedral, such a lovely tranquil gem of a building. The creation story is a lovely gem in the bible. I hope the panels will add a sparkle to everyone's visit here.
"My aim is to capture the wonderful extravagance of the Creation story and to delight people who view it. Despite Adam and Eve's fall from grace, it remains a story of love and promise, something we can all do with these days."
Entry to the Cathedral is by donation.
