I love your aesthetic. I love the layering and the subtle colors. I love the richness of the textures and chaos your work approaches. I love the conflation of mediums. I love the active nature of scratching on the photographic prints.
Let’s make art-babies.
Of all the uses of thread I saw at the art fairs, and they were myriad and multitudinousness, even more so than last year, Matthew Cox’s embroidery on x-ray at Pentimenti Gallery’s booth at Pulse struck me as novel and apt.
The Botticelli-esque embroidery fleshes out the lines suggested by the x-rays. The contrast between the x-ray and the embroidery works well, although I wish the pieces could have been backlit to show off the x-rays better.
I felt like I was seeing a lot of the same things that I saw (and liked) last year at Pulse Art Fair this year. Magdalena Mura then, above image from 2010, and now:
