Those Stitched Memos of mine that began as an Artclash / Fun-a-Day series and winter-making-project will be on view at Twelve Chairs in Boston's South End through the summer.
Each piece is a segment of a phrase from film, literature or life embroidered on to upholstery fabric samples that I've collected from design projects over the years. Embroidering them is like a little meditation on the words, a way to capture lines that resonate with me and pop up out of nowhere but often would otherwise slip my mind and get away. Making them is an opportunity to explore the graphic qualities of text and color in combination with the pattern and texture of the fabric.
Actually, I've become a bit hooked on the making of them and continue thinking of other ways to transcribe all of these collected phrases for future projects!
