More textile art...

Cross stitch into found book by Lauren DiCioccio


I've been getting into textiles more recently.... So here is some more textile art for you...

Lauren DiCioccio investigates commonplace objects, more recently mass produced items like newspapers, plastic bags and writing pads, as these objects become more obsolete, replaced by the invisible efficiency of various techniques and the hole and questions that will be left behind after the disappearance of these everyday objects. When will we no longer write longhand? When newsprint does not rub off on our fingertips? Her tedious handiwork and obsessive care reminds the audience of these simple but intimate pieces of everyday life and provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects.
