We are so thrilled to bring you the 1st place winners of the Mr X Stitch Contemporary Needlework Prize for 2023. It has to be said, the level of talent in the entries was mind-blowing and you all made it extremely hard for our judges!

Taking first place in the 3D Textiles category is the incredible Ruta Naujalyte 🔥 We found this description of Ruta's work incredibly moving:

"Another important aspect of my work is the macabre aspect, which emphasizes the fragility of beauty. This juxtaposition of the macabre, fragile, incomplete, and peculiarly beautiful is my medium to convey ideas from feminism, environmental issues, and the philosophical critique of capitalism. Through my work, I aim to challenge the notion of what can be considered "fine art" and elevate the status of craft-based practices." - @rutanaujalyte

Huge congratulations and a big thank you to @searchpress for sponsoring the 3D Textiles category!
