Featuring three monumental series - 'Threads Through Creation', 'Threads Through the Cross' and 'Threads Through Revelation' - this is one of the largest textile artworks ever created by a single artist.
Ten years in the making and composed of more than 25 million stitches across 44 panels, this extraordinary display celebrates both artistic devotion and the timeless message of the Bible.
