I got to see this lovey wee matchbox by Jane when I was down at Hazel's house! So it had to be highlighted with my matchbox travels! Thank you Hazel!

"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

the matchbox project

Just came across a matchbox project and this image just made me smile!  Leanne and Naomi Shedlezki - an artist duo from Sydney, Australia, have been creating and presenting work across Australia, Japan, the United States and China. Their work incorporates performance, photography, new media, installation and collaborative exchange.
