I hand-selected each album then set out to embroider them. To make the art, each thread must be hand-digitized using digital drawing tools on a scan of the actual album as a backdrop. Every stitch is drawn by hand, one at a time. The embroidery process itself is the most interesting and has to be seen to believe.

Is This It is the debut album by the rock band the Strokes. The album was released in 2001. I remember being a fan of the band as soon as the album came out. Their sound was pure garage rock mixed with post punk and Brit pop. They had a raw energy that was absent from a lot of bands coming out in the same time period. The first album cover features a close up of a woman bending over from the side with a leather glove on her backside. With the fear of retailers in America not wanting the carry the album because of the provocative nature of the cover, they designed a second one. The second cover is a photograph of a subatomic particle. The interesting thing about this photo is that it a portion of it was already used in the Graffiti Bridge album by Prince. For the US album, I embroidered the album cover in layers of textured wool thread with over 100,000 hand placed stitches. The light blue detail of the particle was traced in cashmere yarn and the logo was added as a patch. The wool thread and yarn are the perfect match to the abstract vibe of the album 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".
