Recently, many are concerned about the fact that electronic media are increasingly replacing printed products. Rumor has it even that a few decades later the postman profession will disappear as unnecessary. After all, why buy a newspaper if the same news can be found on the Internet - and completely free of charge and without leaving your home. Lauren Dicioccio believes that such a development should not be allowed, and backs up her words with the original "newspaper" embroidery.
Works from the Sewnnews series are entire issues of The New York Times, packed in hand-embroidered cotton fabric. “As news buffs move away from paper forms and use television and the Internet instead, newspapers are becoming nostalgic and old-fashioned objects,” says the author. "I describe the beauty of the ritual of reading a newspaper by presenting paper as a tactile and fragile material using the language of a craft."
Lauren Dicioccio uses photographs from newspaper articles as the basis for her embroidery. The craftswoman embroiders a picture, using, by her own admission, threads instead of paints and painfully applying them to the fabric. Parts of the image remain in the form of sketchy lines, long threads hang down and get entangled with each other. Typically, for her work, Lauren Dicioccio chooses "a strong image, suggestive of power, leadership and communication." So, her heroes have already become John McCain, Vladimir Putin and, of course, Lady Gaga - where now without her?
Lauren Dicioccio was born and raised in Philadelphia and currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2002, she received her BA from Colgate University, New York, where she studied art and art history. Although during her studies, the main attention was paid to painting, now the author prefers to use embroidery in her work - her mother taught her this craft as a child. More works by Lauren Dicioccio can be seen on the website.

Several personalities live in each person, and a change of profession is an attempt to get into the light of day your other self.
