Yesterday I mentioned that I was in the Gallery at the Tempe Center for the Arts for a concert which also gave me the opportunity to enjoy the artwork on display. My title for this post is the name of the exhibit.
I found this piece to the left to be extremely fascinating, especially to someone who enjoys photography. The artist, Carol Shinn transferred a photo she had taken to fabric and then using a basic sewing machine proceeded to "embroider" the entire image until every tiny bit of it was covered with thread with none of the original photo showing. In other words, she embroidered her photographic image. It was amazing to see.
This one was created by Devorah Sperber and is composed completely of spools of thread in different colors. The viewer can look through those lenses and see the portrait. At the link you will see that she has created a wide variety of portraits this way.
There were other pieces in the exhibit that I found absorbing, almost like solving a puzzle.
It was certainly a wonderful experience to hear beautiful music as I described yesterday and also find so much art to challenge the senses. It was a truly sensory experience.

It sounds like a great experience indeed...
These are both fascinating pieces, Sharon!
It's amazing what people come up with, isn't it?!
Gosh that's taking photo 'editing' to a whole new level Sharon, stunning!
Very creative.
Now that is thinking outside the box. Beautiful creations indeed.
Both are amazing pieces. It's great to see that obsession can be put to such a creative use. (Wouldn't it take a little OCD to construct either of these?)
