Becky Edmunds is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans dance, live art, moving image and textiles. Her textile work centres on hand embroidery, exploring traditional techniques and applying them within contemporary practice.

​

Although Becky works across several disciplines, certain interests run through her practice like a red thread. These include an attention to rhythmic gesture and the creation of pattern; a responsiveness to found materials; and a curiosity in how light can catch the eye and, once caught, invite the rest of the body to respond.

​

Becky’s work reflects a fascination with the precision of the needle’s point, and how this precision can be used to make a clear point. Her work is rarely shrouded in mystery - she speaks as she finds.

 

Through these varied forms, Becky’s practice remains rooted in attentiveness, clarity and the belief that small, precise actions can have a powerful impact.

 

Becky’s embroideries have been shown in group exhibitions, and her protest embroideries have been published by the American magazine The Nation. In 2024, she presented Those Forgotten at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery, a solo exhibition exploring the reuse of family archive materials. She also created Do Not Wash, a participatory stitching event that explored how DNA and memory become trapped in fabric through the act of stitching. Do Not Wash was presented in libraries and arts spaces as part of We Are All Memory Bodies by Charlotte Spencer Projects.
