I've been to Truro Cahedral to visit a wonderful exhibition.
'Threads through Revelation' is the second of Jacqui Parkinson's enormous works, created in fabrics. She uses silks, metallic thread, gold leaf and paints to make thirteen amazing panels up to three metres tall.
Created over three years, the panels invite people into a world of powerful symbolism, showing the themes of Revelation, good and evil, heaven and earth and the promise of a New Creation.

This very large one, the final, was one that I found most striking. Showing the Creation, it is a wonderful portrayal of the newly created earth. Angels are surrounding the main figure. The panel glows with promise and excitement.
This is a small detail from the lower part of The Creation. You can see the figures leaping excitedly towards the beauty above.
What an incredible skill Jacqui Parkinson has. It takes me all my time to produce a small tapestry, so looking at these panels brought home to me her workmanship and dedication.

I saw Threads in Creation at Worcester. I was bowled over
Wow, this is just beautiful.
God bless.
What an amazing work of art she has created.
I saw the life of Christ threads exhibition in Guildford cathedral; the massive panels are astonishing and very moving. I hope Revelations comes to us, I must look up the website.
Thank you
What skill and patience these works take. How nice that you could view them near by to you.
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Those panels are absolutely amazing. Having been a quilter and an embordierer for years I just can't imagine such beauty coming from thread on fabric.
What amazing and powerful work the artist does. So much beauty!
