Before We Were Mortals by California-based artist Michelle Kingdom

“Before We Were Mortals was created specifically for Stitch Fetish 5, [an exhibit curated by Ellen Schinderman (another artist that FFA has featured) that is currently on view at The Hive Gallery in Los Angeles.] Basking in paradise, a group of carefree women represent a primordial archetype of innocence. Indifferent to the gaze of others, their existence, identity and sexuality denote an idyllic kind of joy and freedom. Only the title foreshadows their, and our, inevitable fate.”

Night Falls 3 and Night Falls 4 by California-based artist Annette Heully

“In my work there is an intersection between the animate and inanimate as well as references to the body and landscape. I am interested in how over time, seemingly inanimate forms slowly shift, settle, change and become animate. Although the results are not always immediate, our environment and body have a great effect on each other. Over time physical wounds heal into scars, feelings of loss are soothed by time, tides rise and fall, and paths are made as we walk. These phenomena are just as prevalent externally as they are internally. I am interested in this intersection and how the beauty, synchronicity and poetics of life can be transformed into a visual, spatial and material experience.”

Colorful mixed media sculptures by Polish artist Nibyniebo. We featured some of her work in our recent exhibit at Virago Gallery in Seattle!

“When you are an artist the things that matter are ideas, creative processes and above all the message and self-expression. That’s the source of my joy at least. I stubbornly play that game of art because it is the sense of my life. It is fulfilling and it is fun. I celebrate art. I do it despite life circumstances, discouragement and lack of income from artistic activity. I’d like to tell you today - go and create. And be happy in that process. Enjoy tremendously and shamelessly every creative minute of your life!”

We exhibited this powerful piece, Perfection is the Enemy, by Melissa Maddonni Haims at our exhibit at Virago Gallery in Seattle this past April!

“The majority of [my] work is made from recycled and up-cycled materials - mostly vintage fabrics and yarn. I’m inspired by the reuse of materials - how ‘everything old is new again’ and giving old fibers new meaning. I’m also inspired, driven, really, by modern domesticity. I’m more than a little obsessed with what’s happening in our minds as my generation becomes “homemakers” and “housewives”. This is the basis of my work in the #nofilter series (quilts and embroidered pieces).”

Embroidered necklaces by Jessica Blazek (aka Thimble Thistle).

“My background as a painter, working on a larger scale for a number of years inspired me to challenge myself working in a miniature scale and in a new medium of embroidery. I render each brushstroke with a needle and thread with just enough detail to capture the essence of each subject. I have always admired how masters such as Van Gogh challenged conventional norms of painting with their interpretive style. As such I sometimes choose to re-interpret these well known images and others of my own creation.”

Embroideries by Botanical Threads (aka Botanical Bunny). We will be featuring some of her work at our Flower Fairy and Friends Fiber Art Festival taking place in Boston on Sunday, June 18!

“My work is inspired by all that my life entails. I battle chronic illness on a daily basis. There are days where I can’t do much more than sit and stitch. This makes me constantly reflect on my own human connection with nature. At my darkest times, I walk alone in the meadow behind my house and find solace in the natural world. My work is intended to make others find a level of solace in themselves and their own space. There is so much power in vulnerability. When we allow ourselves to be truly vulnerable, that is when we grow.”
