Marine Beaufils Completes Embroidery Series Inspired by 1986 Video Game The Sentinel

French embroidery artist Marine Beaufils has finished La Sentinelle, a series of 14 needlepoint works created between 2022 and February 2024. Each piece measures 55×46 cm and depicts scenes from the 1986 video game The Sentinel, designed by Geoff Crammond. Beaufils employs a two-stage process: first recalling memorable moments from games like The Sentinel, Metroid, and Maniac Mansion, then methodically translating pixelated images onto embroidery grids using colors from the original eight-shade palette. Her work bridges digital and handcrafted mediums, producing nostalgic, surreal landscapes that transition from screen to textile.
