Stitched Art at the Little Art

In Embroidery, photography, Social Issues, Yellow Springs on May 27, 2012 at 1:21 pm

That is the Little Art Theatre  lobby in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Most of the work was in my Stitch Gasp! exhibit but this one below is new and is a stitched photograph. Not a new concept, as there are many who do it, such as Maurizio Anzeri (got to see his exhibit at the Baltic in Gateshead-wow), Jessica Wohl, and the fabulous Inge Jacobsen.

Muy Cottage fb has a link to a site that offers a drawing with stitch challenge  some of you might be interested in.

Anyway, I wanted to explore the idea of taking a photograph of a vintage embroidery transfer from the 40′s or 50′s,  add a bit tie dye using adobe, and then hand embroidery it.  The comment is by Rush L, a view that was prevalent BACK in the 50′s, yet is being regurgitated in 2012, arg!  I crossed the quite well for obvious reasons. He is the one that coined the term feminazi, a propaganda technique of guilt by association – Reductio ad Hitlerum . Name calling and demonization seems par for the course with feminists being accused as  filthy, hairy, smelly hippies and  feminazi’s, just to name a few,  phew! I have never met one, but then I have never met a pig that fly’s either ;)
