Happy Friday, and welcome
to the linky post!

First up, we have Bella May Leonard's unusual "sculptural
embroidery". As the name might imply it’s 3D, but in addition to her
taking her embroidery up and out, she also uses unusual substrates, 'thread" and a
collage/assemblage technique. Check it out HERE
Next we have simply eye
candy. No interview, and just a small amount of text, but evocative photographs
using a multiple exposure technique with surprising results. Check out
Christopher Relander’s photography at his website HERE

It's an "oldie but a goodie" but since I pulled it up to remind myself about the corners this week, I thought you might be interested as well if you haven't seen it - check out Lyric Kinard's tutorial for gallery wrapped canvas HERE .
Next up, there's an interview with local Toronto artist Catherine Heard about her ... discomfiting work, HERE
Next: you may already be familiar with the work of "Mr. Finch" (and if you're not, I suggest you follow his blog - he doesn't post often, but when he does, his work is glorious!); but whether you're a follower or not, Colossal has done a feature on him, and I think you'll enjoy the peek. You can check it out HERE

And last but not least, Lithuanian artist Severija Inčirauskaitė-Kriaunevičienė embroiders and cross-stitches metal objects (no really!) Check out her work and an interview with here HERE

And... as you can see with my work this week, I didn't have a plan. (It's been the week's theme when it comes to my art.)
Over my lunches this week, I was
mostly talking, giggling and indulging in a small amount of harmless gossip with my work chum through our lunches this week, rather than concentrating on my
work.
So the resulting work doesn’t make a lot of
sense, and I can't say there’s anything linking these disparate bits of stitchery (not to mention, the stitches holding my circles down are TERRIBLE, lol) but there’s something
sort of charming about it. (At least, I think so!)
More work on the “winter
birch” scene on Monday – it’s coming along and I’m quite pleased with it!
Until then, have
a great weekend. Be safe out there!

Fascinating links as always. I was lucky enough to see some of Severija's work on display at the Knitting and Stitching Show last year. It's even better in real life.
ReplyDeleteOh Kit, those double exposures are just yummy and amazing and Mr. Finch is definitely worth following!! Waiting for Monday to see the trees!!!!
ReplyDeleteCharming, definitely...and a fun way to relax with colleagues. As for the links...I shared one with my daughter and stored a couple away for future reference. Love the embroidery-on-metal!
