Hands down this has been the hardest piece in the series so far. This is the Talking Heads' second album released in 1978 and contained the hit “Take me to the River.” The art for the album consists of a stylized painting of the band members that is then cut into about 500 little squares and placed back together. I digitized each of the squares using very small embroidery stitches and over 50 colors of thread. Each square was then cut out individually and mounted to the album. This may not sound that difficult but it truly was a process that took at least triple the amount of time a regular album would take. Keeping the pieces organized and placing them perfectly was a long process. The finished piece was amazing once it was complete, the individual tiles truly give the piece a unique look and style.
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".
