Alex Perry, a graduate in textiles from the Norwich School of Art & Design, was selected as the winner of the most innovative and skilful use of machine embroidery in work presented at the New Designers Award 2001 at the Business Design Centre, Islington.

The selection panel of 5 judges awarded £1000 and the chance to take part in the Graduate Showcase at the Knitting and Stitching Shows in London, Dublin and Harrogate in the Autumn.

Alex's work combines machine embroidery with perspex and patterns derived from maps and electronic circuitry to produce unique, intriguing and beautiful images. Her work can also be seen at the art of the STITCH international exhibition organised biennially by the Embroiderers' Guild in association with Coats Crafts UK at the Mall Galleries in London (18-31 August 2001), and The Williamson Art Gallery, Birkenhead (15 September - 28 October 2001).
