Lauren DiCioccio's Sewn news has captured my attention more than once before. I absolutely love how she transforms a mass produced media object (that is generally now becoming obsolete) into an embroidered time consuming art piece.
In her own words Lauren describes the feelings she is trying to provoke.
The tedious handiwork and obsessive care I employ to create my work aims to remind the viewer of these simple but intimate pieces of everyday life and to provoke a pang of nostalgia for the familiar physicality of these objects.
