Hawaiian Island Doll - Study in thread

$980.00

Mixed Media, Paper, Framed

37.2cm (W) x 44.6cm (H) x 3cm (D)

I have always loved glistening embroidery thread and all of the beautiful colours available. My mother and grandmother were both amazing seamstresses and I seem to recall that I spent my entire childhood growing up listening to the sewing machine as my mother created beautiful garments. During my training as a contemporary artist, I studied units of textiles at Uni SA and Curtin University and enjoyed playing with fabric and thread, and I wanted to explore my image through the textile medium. I have applied pop art principles to the artwork with sections of colour to create form. When looking closely at these pieces I am transfixed by the capture of light on the thread, the different colours, and the delicate detail. Named after a line in the song "California Girls" by The Beach Boys. Kerry is always looking for positive motives to uplift and enrich women's and girls' lives - encouraging them to live braver and more fulfilled lives with strong bold poses.

This piece looks amazing in an intimate setting. The size of the "sewn" artwork is 29.7cm W and 42cm H - which includes a border of paper. If you love line-making with more unusual yet beautiful media this artwork is for you! It draws you in with all the shimmering thread.
