Frederique Morrel

I expect you've already come across the work of Frederique Morrel...but if you haven't, she's an artist that forms one of a kind everyday objects and sculptures from patchworks of vintage needlepoint. More recently she's been creating these life size deer sculptures, where she covers a fibreglass taxidermy mould with vintage needlepoint- amazing!
