can you make embroidery from detailed photo images?

my creativity has been focused on a new home.
textiles follow from this state. here are photos i want to register as potential embroidery designs:

hmmmm 

a kind of writing

discarded yarn, like a kind of writing:




 yarn and inner tube... lines of the week's activity

I just went on a short trip to Bornholm, Denmark.
It was the first time I've had in a long while to reconnect with photography and nature.
I came away wondering what a critical photography practice of mine would look like...

Critical - i.e. that problematises, that raises questions, that delimits (as I understand it).

And, after reading Spheres of Action: Art and Politics (ed. Alliez and Osborne), I am re-reminded of the importance of history and materialism, and am wondering how it would be possible to reconcile image making (photography) with this aim.

Here's an assortment of images that are doing different things, but I wouldn't say they were critical. That's the problem, and I suspect the only way such a thing might be possible would be through some heterogeneous element(s).

Tree Nipples

 

Light Touches (again)

Some images from today:

Just putting this here to remind myself how much I like it:

Northey Island

I had the good fortune to visit a small island in an estuary recently, somewhere in Essex (for a dear friend's birthday). The memory that particularly stands out is waiting for the tide water to go down, in the pitch black, as if I am standing in the middle of the estuary, while geese chat to each other across the way - their strange noises all around me.
