Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve. 

12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.

     This is one of the Allman Brothers most famous albums from the 1970’s. The cover using a family photo of a little boy standing in a field was a technical challenge because of all the small details in the environment. The band had suffered two losses the previous year with the deaths of Duane Allman (1971) and Berry Oakley (1972.) The photo captures a moment of innocence and hope as if to declare everything would be alright. The child was stitched in a thinner rayon thread to accentuate the details of his hair and clothing. The logo was created as a patch and then mounted onto the album cover. There are over 100,000 hand digitized stitches on this album cover. Upon closer examination you can see individual stitches that adorn the cover.

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".
