Between January 1990 and April 1991, 500 New Zealand women collaborated on the creation of four wall hangings for the Globe Theatre in London, England. The theatre was a reconstruction of William Shakespeare’s Globe near its original location in Southwark. The hangings are a combination of hand and machine embroidery, dye work and appliqué. The machine embroiderer is Barbara Hercus.
