I made this piece a few years ago and I’ve brought it out to be reworked on.
It’s about Coventina who is a water goddess and her well in Northumberland, England.
I’ve deliberately depicted an older woman as a goddess and her dragon which is underneath.

This is a textile artwork. It’s made with scraps of fabric embroidered together.
The image is of an older woman’s face with her grey hair flying and a watery background. She is my interpretation of Coventina, a mythological water goddess who has a well named after her in Northumberland, England. At the bottom of the picture is her water dragon. You can just see its nose.

The mythical creature is multicoloured with embroidered swirling patterns and has spikes running down its spine.
