Charlotte Wood - The Wilcom Award for Digital Embroidery - Textile Art Winner 2025

The Wilcom Award for Digital Embroidery - Textile Art: Man on Chair by Charlotte Wood explores memory, preservation and the fragile relationship between people and the objects that surround them.

Through her character, the Man, Charlotte creates a three-dimensional textile sculpture that reflects themes of loss, nostalgia and the difficulty of letting go. The figure merges with the chair beneath him, blurring the boundaries between body, object and memory.

Created predominantly through digital embroidery, with additional machine and hand embellishment, the work combines layered, distressed stitching and textured surfaces to bring the Man’s inner world into physical form. Man on Chair demonstrates the creative possibilities of digital embroidery as a tool for storytelling and transformation.
