| STITCHED DRAWINGS |
________________________________________________________________________
Last summer, I put a map of the USA on my wall and highlighted the route of my recent solo road trip. It was really curious to me that in the middle of the country, Iowa and Kansas (where I have lived the majority of my life) a "heartbeat" showed up. I enlarged sections of my map and began a series of stitched drawings titled 8000 miles = 300 feet Why a stitched line versus drawing with a pen or pencil? Process. The act of stitching. A conscious slowing down. The sound of the needle puncturing the paper created a rhythm, a meditation. Drawings stitched with pearl cotton thread on 22x30 strathmore paper |
