Yarnage

My most recent works incorporate the use of yarn as an installation medium (stay tuned for pictures coming soon) and once again I've begun to dabble with embroidery in my drawings. I couldn't help but be inspired by some of these artists (not to mention love the feminist themes) :

Andrea Dezsoa Lessons From My Mother, 2006, 5" x 5" cotton and metallic floss embroidery on cotton fabric

Orly Cogan Fairy Tale, 2006, 94" x 80", mixed media

Orly Cogan Wonder of You, 2007, 49" x 49", mixed media

Megan Whitmarsh Giant Sculpture, 2007, 65” x 55”, embroidery thread on fabric
