Cross-stitching, a time intensive process, is used to create pictures of a number of historically significant yet fleeting moments; iconic images imprinted on our collective psyche, and re-enforced nightly on the television news.
We live in an age that is literally fuelled by the remains of a bygone era: oil.

A power source that we will have the pleasure of exhausting within just a few generations.
