Kimberly Corday has a new body of textile work called Pelage.
“My process is Frankensteinian. Borrowing aspects of weaving, embroidery, and collage, I make textured objects that conjure up an amalgam of natural phenomena like threadbare pelts, nests, or overgrown brush.
In this new body of work I dye, distress, and manipulate an assortment of textiles in a ritual that yields wall hangings both romantic and primitive. Much like the preserved textiles of a bygone era, this series spotlights organic, sometimes misshapen forms as well as the relationship between beauty and decay.”

Thanks for the find, Brown Paper Bag!
Capsule clothing collection OMUT by Nastia Klimov & Lisa Smirnova. These pieces are dark, grotesque and feminine, and really take embroidery to a new level.

Interpersonal Spatial Arrangements is a fascinating project by British artist Roanna Wells documenting the patterns of crowds at certain happy or macabre moments in time. Individuals are reduced and abstracted to a single black stitch in wool. There is no geography or any other markers of place and time to contextualize these works… other than the title and the shape of the crowd.
