fingerprints – Contemporary Embroidery & Textile Art Inspiration

Aubrey Longley-Cook is a Manbroiderer and he's cool as a cucumber. He's 23 and lives in Atlanta, GA. He loves to make embroideries, comics, animations, and cassette mixtapes. Aubrey has embroidery in his blood - his grandfather wove geometric woollen patterns for fabrics. And you can tell that this talent has passed on to Aubrey who, quite frankly, seems destined for stitching greatness. He embroiders, he embellishes vintage materials, stitches on cards and other media, and I'm sure this is the tip of his iceberg. I'm really digging these stitcheries of his own fingerprints. A clever idea, well executed and cool as hell. You can get to know Aubrey better on Spool Spectrum, his awesome blog, and you can buy his items either at his etsy store or at the Youngblook Gallery in Atlanta. Keep an eye on this dude, he's going to go large! ----- The Cutting (& Stitching) Edge is brought to you in association with PUSH: Stitchery, the contemporary embroidered art book curated by Jamie Chalmers. Featuring 30 textile-based artists from around the world, it's a must have for needlework fans.
