Matthew Cox: Embroidered X-Rays

(Waterproof Watches by Matthew Cox)

(Embroidered MRI by Matthew Cox)

With Halloween not far away we were drawn to these eerie embroidery pieces created by Philadelphia-based artist, Matthew Cox, using X-rays and MRI images as his artistic canvas.

On his website, Matthew explains how the stark clash of two such divergent materials - cloth and plastic - provide the catalysts for his work. One is tactile; the other technical. By justaxposing the two, the understood purpose of each is redefined.

We love the idea of turning something so spare into something so tactile and decorative!
