The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions
A striking photograph by local
photographer Martin Reece suggested
the copper relief of the soldiers from
the First World War on the Cenotaph.
The image was so memorable it
begged to be stitched, and to serve
as a memorial to all those men and
woman from Liverpool who gave
their lives in defence of the city and
their country.
Capturing the shading in a way that
reflected the relief has proved to
be just about the most challenging
piece of canvas work I have ever
undertaken (and that includes the
centrepiece!) but after several attempts
I hope we have managed to do it
justice.
