From filmmaker to thread master, we chat to the Parisian textile artist weaving nostalgic memories and deep introspections of inner conflicts from thread.

Memories often are described colloquially as being woven into our brains, threaded through our minds in ways that affect our every day. For Cécile Davidovici, though, memories and lengthy stitches hold a different relationship, and weaving her thread paintings is a process of remembering rather than the state of the memory itself. The Paris-based artist sources the content of her series <<1988 from home videos taken by her parents throughout her upbringing. More

If you imagine each strand to be a stroke of the pencil, you begin to see how these pieces are layered. French artist Cecile Davidovici uses embroidery to create images with textiles. There are two main classifications in the images below. Portraits and scenes. Both have fascinating qualities that are worth paying attention to. In the first, the subtle change in thread color that gives that smooth variation in people's skin. In the second, scenes that look like paintings. Beautifully detailed with very intense and deep color choices, they bring out the best in the finish piece. A different medium to what most of us are used to seeing. Something that I am hoping you will enjoy as much as you do your weekend. Ps. I gave the images some titles. Reflection in the lake. Press the Image to Enlarge it. Hiding in the shadows.

Working with appropriated vintage photographs of artists, musicians, and politicians, Mexican textile artist Victoria Villasana applies a colorfully whimsical layer of embroidery atop each image. Criss-crosses of color and bright highlights around the eyes seem to lend a sense of empowerment to the works which often depict feminist icons from singer Nina Simone to artist Frida Kahlo. Villasana also takes her works into the streets and creates hybrid yarn bomb paste-ups from small stickers to entire murals. More

Although she doesn’t live right by the ocean, artist Emily Botelho channels her passion for marine landscapes with frequent trips to explore where soil and sea meet. On these trips, she photographs the colors and textures that appear on the rocky waterfront: lichen, seaweed, and small sea creatures all create unique visual patterns.

La mi* galerie présente du 16 mai au 15 juin la première exposition personnelle de Cécile Davidovici. L’artiste y expose son projet <<1988, corpus d’oeuvres brodées inspirées d’images VHS de son enfance. Tel un arrêt sur image, la jeune femme repense ainsi le statut narratif de l’image et du récit en faisant pause sur ces vidéos de son enfance et en brodant ces instantanés de vie tirés de son passé. L’artiste, passé par le cinéma et l’audiovisuel confronte image animée et image statique, le numérique et l’artisanat. Elle dépoussière l’acte pouvant être perçu comme désuet de la broderie en offrant […]
