lauren dicioccio embroiders common objects that are fragile or becoming obsolete. in her words, she uses "tedious handiwork and obsessive care" in an effort to "provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects." in her series called sewnnews she encases newspapers in muslin and selects a powerful image to embroider. she also embroiders plastic bags and 35mm slides. i would love to see them all up-close.
