It has been a good week here at The Make Lounge; lots more happy crafters and we released dates for our exciting new Creative Cross Stitch workshop! Something else raising smiles is the stitch-based work of Manchester artist, Sarah Greaves (above).
Juxtaposing embroidery with food and other found objects, Sarah's work has great double take appeal! We also like it for its fun, Surrealist twist on familiar feminist art themes of domesticity, gender roles and body image.
Some food for thought now... and a comment on fad dieting?
Surely resistance is futile?
"I'm alright now" on a chair... the first port of call for the shocked! I wonder if she has done a kettle?
Show 'em the door - "The End" writ large!
Want to see more? You can visit her upcoming exhibition, Pulling The Threads: Embroidered Graffiti by Sarah Greaves on at the Central Art Gallery in Manchester from 26 June – 3 September. If you do have a chance to see the exhibit, please tell us what you think in the comments!
