If you’re in the North Carolina area this July, why not swing by the Visual Art Exchange in Blake Street, Raleigh, and check out their Exchange Gallery. Each month they feature a selection of their favourite artists, and this month includes long term member of the Mr X Stitch family, FiberArtsy.
Crystal says that her work “pulls from many sources including a sense of tradition by using traditional techniques such as sewing and embroidery and using them as a tool to further my own story. I am compelled by the processes I use. The actual act of pulling a needle and thread is invigorating. The fabric I use also has a story of it’s own as most of it belonged to family members, while other fabric comes from thrift stores bringing with it its own history.” It’s great stuff!
If you’re in the area, please do swing by and check out the work. And then let us know what you think of it!
The show runs from 3rd to 30th July. Find out more information here.
We’re always keen to find out about shows and exhibitions of contemporary stitchery – if you know of a show near you and you’d like us to share it, email mrx@mrxstitch.com or beefranck@mrxstitch.com with the information and we’ll share it with the world!
