Description

Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve.

12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.

     Alicia’s hair is what inspired this piece. The album Here features a beautiful portrait of Alicia Keys with her hair splayed over the surface of the album. The portrait is in black and white and I thought this was the the perfect portrait to add explosive bursts of color. I embroidered the hair in multiple colors of wool, cashmere and silk yarns. I have never used this much yarn on a piece before and the end result is stunning.

The albums take up to 8 hours to embroider and can contain over 200,000 stitches. The series is created and designed to be hung together so you can add to your installation wall as you discover new pieces I create. Each of the albums comes with a signed certificate and is framed in acrylic and measures 12" x 12" x 2".
