Meredith Woolnough is a visual artist based in Australia, best known for her intricate, nature-inspired sculptural embroideries. Drawing on patterns and structures found in plants, coral, cells and shells, her work explores balance, connectivity and the delicate tension between strength and fragility in the natural world.
Meredith uses a unique freehand embroidery technique with a domestic sewing machine and a fabric that dissolves in water to create complex openwork forms, which are carefully pinned in shadowboxes like preserved specimens. Working at the intersection of art and science, her practice invites close observation and a deeper appreciation of nature’s complexity. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally, and she also teaches workshops and online courses alongside her studio practice.
