Welcome to the Cutting (& Stitching) Edge, where we showcase people whose embroidered creativity is fresh and new!
Tilleke Schwarz is an artist from the Netherlands.

She describes her work as “a kind of visual poetry. It is a mixture of contemporary influences, graffiti, icons, texts and traditional images from samplers. The embroidery contains narrative elements. Not really complete stories, with a beginning, a storyline, and an end. On the contrary, the narrative structures are used as a form of communication with the viewer.“

Each of her pieces is filled with creativity, colour, humour and life. They are a feast for the eyes.

The style is quite unique. It’s playful, it’s vibrant, it’s great. It’s Tilleke Schwarz!
