Stitch a Day
In Stitch a Day, I am cross-stitching large compositions that reference issues connected especially with climate change and political decisions that are being made to preserve or abandon our lands. The cliché aspect of this craft directly links to education and communication. The cross-stitching is also small enough that it refers to pixels. I enjoy that the viewer thinks it is a digital image until they get close. The methodical action of hand-stitching also serves as a performative act.
