Unusual Embroidery by Danielle Clough

Danielle Clough is a Cape Town, South Africa-based designer, and embroidery artist. She completed her studies in art direction and graphic design at The Red and Yellow School before embarking on a career in visual art, digital design, and thing-making. Her embroidered works are unique, sometimes she uses thick thread to create images of flowers and other fauna on vintage tennis rackets, the strings acting as her loom. Sometimes these are portraits of her friends and loved ones, adapting black and white images of subjects into multi-colored works. You can see more work by Clough on her Instagram, and take a look into the artist’s process on her blog.

Lace Detailed Steel Objects of Cal Lane

Cal Lane is an artist from Victoria, British Columbia, currently living in New York.

I like to work as a visual devil’s advocate, using contradiction as a vehicle for finding my way to an empathetic image, an image of opposition that creates a balance - as well as a clash - by comparing and contrasting ideas and materials. This manifested in a series of “Industrial Doilies”, pulling together industrial and domestic life as well as relationships of strong and delicate, masculine and feminine, practical and frivolity, ornament and function. There is also a secondary relationship being explored here, of lace used in religious ceremonies as in weddings, christenings and funerals. With this notion of desirable oppositions I created the structure “fabricate”. In this Structure I hand cut lace trimming patterns into 9 I-beams, then constructed a tower, simultaneously macho, and of delicate finery. The metaphor of lace further intrigued me by its associations of hiding and exposing at the same time; like a veil to cover, or lingerie to reveal. It also introduces a kind of humor through the form of unexpected relationships…
