I’ve been very inspired by other craftivists over the last couple of days and it has me plotting my next efforts.

Here’s a couple of my favourites that I’ve already done..

..in Sydney outside Twenty10

..and recently on International Yarn Bombing Day in my hometown Perth, Western Australia

Untitled (Pattern 2) 
24 x 18 inches, thread embroidered on paper

By Emily Barletta

Currently on display at FiveMyles in NY, part of an exhibition entitled Art/Sewn.

I like the glyph-like quality of the embroidered pattern which hints at some hidden meaning.  Is the language ancient or alien?  Is the text sacred or profane?  The medium itself leads to more questions about the purpose and importance of the text.  For me, the ephemeral nature of the materials, (paper and fiber), contrasted with the time-consuming process of embroidery, (a skill usually associated with female activity), creates a suggestive dichotomy.

(As an aside, Ms. Barletta keeps an interesting record of art she likes on her blog if you want to see work from other fiber artists.)
