Original product information

Lucie Feighan | Entangled Embroidery | 1

"The Entangled series recalls the period in which my partner lost his sight. Each element of this body of work documents how these developments impacted our lives. Without sight, touch became his primary interface with the world. Touch was not a just a sense but a way for him to connect to others, to objects, his environment and himself. Each art collection takes two years to make. I first undertake a large series of mark poems in the form of ink drawings and make a small selection from them. Before these drawings are translated into embroidery, diverse stitch-treatment samples need to be made until the optimum stitch variations have been established. Months are spent placing the embroideries and refining the colour scheme. Finally, the patterns are stitched on to base materials of silk or leather which are then stretched, framed and hung. The smaller pieces contain tens of thousands of stitches and the larger pieces hundreds of thousands." ~ Lucie Feighan
