Description:	Stitch and Peacock is a solo exhibition combining drawings, stitch and wall painting with a selection of embroidery and textile pieces from The Usher Gallery Archives. Taking a rarely seen embroidered Jacobean bedspread as a starting point, Maier has created a series of new works, including a large wall drawing, which are rooted within the Lincolnshire textile collection, and history of embroidery. Using the embroidery archive as a starting point Maier creates intricate drawings; mimicking the line of stitch these works are not what they first seem. These new works investigate the historical stitched objects by repeating and redrawing from their original patterns, depicting the mark of stitch and imagery found within them. Sidestepping the common ideas related to embroidery and stitch, often seen as women's work or part of the domestic realm Maier investigates alternative ideas hidden within the history of stitch. In Maier's work the heartfelt, funny and titillating side of textile history comes into focus.
