Snellen Test: Gill — A4 Sampler Kit (Fabric/Calico)

Part of the Snellen Test series, this A4 printed fabric sampler challenges viewers to consider what they truly “see” when it comes to abuse, complicity, and legacy. Designed in the style of an optometrist's eye test, this piece centres on Eric Gill - a celebrated artist whose widely-known history of abuse continues to be overlooked in favour of his so-called “genius.”

The sampler asks: Do you see the abuse? Can you read between the lines?
Gill’s crimes are not hidden. This piece is about perception, visibility, and the uncomfortable truths still ignored in art history.

This is a stitch-it-yourself sampler printed onto calico/fabric and comes with a needle, making it perfect for anyone who wants to engage in slow, reflective making while considering the weight of the subject matter.

What’s Included:

* A4 printed fabric sampler (calico)
* Embroidery needle

Optional Extras (Select Below):

* Wooden Embroidery Hoop – Ideal for holding the fabric steady while you stitch
* Thread Selection – A curated mix of colours to bring your vision to life
* Sheet of Felt Backing – Adds extra thickness and sturdiness to your piece, making stitching easier and giving your final work more structure

Important Note:
This is not just a decorative piece—this is art as activism. The Snellen Test series confronts the legacy of abusive figures in the arts and questions why society continues to elevate them. Stitch with care, reflect with purpose.
