"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."

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!

Kathy's work is based on archival and family photos through which she delves into the legacy of human relations. She is drawn to this practice because it marries two passions:photography and weaving. It enables her to translate striking images and poignant family portraits into woven fabric and lets her explore themes of home, family, memory and loss with an intimacy inherent to textiles.

I love when specialisms get mixed together and I just love Dutch artist Tilleke's work. You have to pop over to her site too, it's such fun and quirky too! Tilleke's site

I must be a slob as I don't know how anyone can work in such a clean way - this must be an act of love (and patience). And what a lovely photograph detail! Some lovely pieces / samples on her Flickr pages
