Atypical embroidery

Editor's Notes
- “Jacobsen mainly uses found advertising imagery in her practice and uses thread as a way of physically intervening and appropriate their meaning. She calls this ‘hijacking’ the image and its intended message. “
- “Ana Teresa Barboza is fascinated by the variety of concepts an artist can arrive at using embroidery. An interest in the human body is also prevalent in much of her art. She regularly works with photographs printed on fabric that she then embellishes with stitch; she embroiders decorative patterns that serve as camouflage”
- “Izziyana Suhaimi’s primary method of creation is embroidery. This artist seeks to break down the boundaries that exist between traditional and popular cultures by investigating and highlighting their connections, but also their differences; the time-consuming and traditional craft of stitch is often juxtaposed with a world addicted to instant gratification and mass production”
- “Nature is both my inspiration and my source of material, which is provided in abundance from my garden and allotment. There are no added colours, everything is natural, simply dried then woven, stitched or tied. To me shadows are an important dimension to my work and as the light changes or the point of view is moved, so the shadows will create a new perspective. And because the materials I use are natural the colours will alter with time adding another layer of interest.”
