I don’t know how many of you have
ever tried embroidery but heres a small tip, it's really hard. It
take hours to get into the rhythm of a pattern and it rquires a lot
of patience to get the hang of it – especially when you have fat
fingers like me! Which is why I admire Lauren DiCioccio's work so
much, this girl has some serious patients! I especially love her
project called sewnews, the idea is to reflect on the newspaper, and
to focus on the idea that the paper has now become a nostalgic piece,
what with the internet and t.v giving us our hourly news updates. She
picks a paper (often The New York Times) and finds an image that is
powerful, she then wraps the paper in a layer a muslin and starts
sewing. I love the fluid, incoherence of the pieces, they have an
unfinished quality to them, which only adds to their appeal. The
faces are always spot on and by using a layer of different threads
she creates a realistic portrait of the person or object. I love this
entire project, and it really inspires me to get creative! Shame I
can't buy one so it can sit above my desk and have it inspire me
constantly! View all of her amazing work here.
