I love the intimacy of the imagery and the way she embroiders as if she is drawing.

I'm fascinated by the way Christiansen combines image with text and object. It's pretty much the epitome of what I'm working towards.

I love the way Saja stitches and the canvas he chooses to use. I'm looking at a lot of embroidery and textile art lately. I'm finding that the more tactile oriented arts are driving my ideas towards an increasingly focused point.

I love the humor and compassion that Cole embodies by wearing other people's clothes.

I get lost in McElheny's pieces. They are beyond beautiful. Beyond sensual. Just beyond....

Whitney,
ReplyDeleteThese links are great. Keep adding them -- it's helpful as I'm interested in artists who work with clothes and fabrics although I am still learning about this field. I agree with you about Cole's sense of humor and willingness to make a "joke" of himself in the process.
I think Saja's color palette and bold, use of negative space, and sometimes minimalist designs are really strong as well. I like the subversion/approproation and sort of humorous jabs at traditional/historical designs as well.
