Thank you Rob for the 'heads up' on the wonderful art of traditional matchboxes - I remember Russian cigarette packs being as wonderful as these - must look in to them. Flickr Link

"In using a contemporary novel as a back drop for the embroidery, the cut work decoration is used to manipulate this meaning when combined with the written word - in Sadie Smiths White Teeth some of the abrupt, crass language in the book emerges through the printed textual layers of paper, jarring the reading, perhaps forcing to viewer to reconsider the role of embroidery in the 21st Century."

"I found a lovely poem by T.S Eliot called "New Hampshire". Inspired by this, I made a small illustrated accordion book and tiny embroidered tree. And they fit! ( the tree only just but it does fit!) I am really satisfied with the result - it is exactly as I imagined it to be. The matchbox was covered using a page of text from an old Yates Garden guide titled "beginning a garden".  APPLEHEAD

Darrel learned textiles and sewing on his Grandma's knee - he's now a textile artist and an associate art professor and I just like his work!  Found at James Wagner's site!
