Bestickte Fotografien von Flore Gardner

Flore Gardner aus Edinburgh nimmt in der Reihe „(Her)Stories“ alte Fotos heran, um diese mit Garn zu besticken. Ich mag diese eigentümliche Art der Aufpeppung sehr!

„The needle is an instrument for hurting and for healing—a photograph (or human skin) can be damaged by its treatment and simultaneously repaired/recreated. This needle makes hundreds of little holes in each photograph, once a precious object, and these, along with the threads, transform the flat, smooth, untouchable photographic support into a relief surface, which can be touched and even, in a certain way, read like Braille.“

Weitere Arbeiten von Flore Gardner gibt es auf der Website der Künstlerin zu sehen.
