Threads through the Bible
Creation + Cross + Revelation
‘Threads through the Bible’ is an extraordinary display of three huge sequences, ‘Threads through Creation’, ‘Threads through the Cross’ and ‘Threads through Revelation’ as one exhibition.
This is probably not only the largest textile project by a single artist ever, but also the largest textile project for 600 years. It is astonishing in its scale and variety.
It will have taken ten years, and used more than 25 million stitches. There are 44 panels. If they were presented side by side, they would stretch more than 80 metres.
The premiere was at Liverpool Cathedral in January 2025 and is now touring a further ten venues, taking us to the end of 2027.
