Fell in love with stitches
24 May 2005 - 16 July 2005
By moving through object making practices I have reinterpreted
historically innovative Louis Comfort Tiffany art jewellery designs by
creating felt embroidered objects and placing them in an installation
setting. Each piece within the installation is a monument and is viewed
in a gallery context rather than an article for personal adornment. The
embroidered stitch, i.e. (raised cup stitch, satin stitch padded),
reinterprets Tiffany's semi- precious and precious stones (opals,
sapphires and garnets), presenting the viewer with conflated concepts
that deal with the embroidered stitch and Tiffany's jewels. Sandra
Bushby Objectspace acknowledges the support of Auckland City's Creative
Communities Scheme towards its Window Installation Programme.
