Sillouettes, 2011.
Jessica Wohl
Artist Orly Cogan curated a series of photographs that were artfully "enhanced" by 11 artists in the exhibit, ‘The Embroidered Image’.
The concept is similar with the illuminated photographs we featured earlier—old black-and-white photographs were given a renewed sense of beauty with carefully hand stitched lines of thread.
Dresses on dancers and ballerinas were given fresh colored patterns, while faces were accompanied with creative stitches that reflected the emotions depicted in the photographs.
In some photographs, buildings were obscured with cross-stitched "pixels", leaving the viewer to ponder about history’s "fading memories".
View a selection of the stitched images below, which are currently on display at the Robert Mann Gallery until 15 August 2014.
