Video: Needlework against gloss: original embroidery by Inge Jacobsen

Ordinary photographs in glossy magazines often lack something. Many people do not like lean mines on the same faces of models that seem to be stamped on the same assembly line. Therefore, craftsmen try to put their soul into the images, add something like that to the pictures - at least add a mustache. Student Inge Jacobsen acts differently: the girl uses the covers of fashion magazines as a pattern for embroidery and as a material at the same time. I wonder what the needlewoman wants to express with the help of the original embroidery?
Young British Inge Jacobsen is still a student, her alma mater is Kingston University. At the university, the girl studies the art of photography, and who knows, maybe after receiving her diploma, she will also start doing photo shoots for the popular women's gloss? God works in mysterious ways. In the meantime, Inge Jacobsen is looking for her own style and is not averse to criticizing the work of others. And not unfounded, but using their own paintings, embroidered on paper.
For example, a girl is often disappointed by what she sees in numerous pictures in illustrated magazines. Inge Jacobsen says that, unfortunately, you rarely see memorable faces or original photographs in mainstream periodicals. If we replace the faceless faces of the models with plain embroidery, nothing will change significantly, says the young craftswoman.
Inge Jacobsen often has such popular publications as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue at his fingertips. And the needlewoman not only expresses her protest against the equally boring female faces with the help of original embroidery. She is trying to turn the glossy mass culture, stamped out in huge numbers, into interesting works of art, made in a single copy.
Original embroidery on paper requires a lot of work, perseverance and patience. Work on an average work of a standard A4 format, as a rule, takes months. In order to fully embroider the cover of a glossy magazine, a talented craftswoman needs up to 4 months. But on the other hand, the results of labor are very impressive.

As parents and school teachers taught us in childhood: everything should have its own place and purpose. Therefore, you need to eat the soup with a spoon, cut the sausage with a knife, and prick the cutlet on a fork. The same people who did everything differently were called strange. But if you put these oddities in the right direction, you can get very interesting results, like the artist Catherine McEver, who does not embroider on fabric, but on rye toes
Art project Science Vs Delirium. Science against delusion, psychedelic prints against photographs
Undoubtedly, it is not given to everyone to engage in science - one lacks abilities, the other perseverance, the third - movement and impressions, the fourth - motivation. But no one has ever tried to draw people's attention to science in general, and scientists, in particular, as the artist Simon Bent from Australia did. A series of psychedelic posters, which he drew as part of the Science Vs Delirium art project, presents famous scientists as if they were in a dream
Photo as a basis for needlework: the original work of Melissa Zexter
Combining such an ancient women's craft as handicrafts with modern photography is an original and bold decision. Melissa Zexter was not afraid of misunderstanding from connoisseurs of the first and fans of the second, and got down to work. In her opinion, texturing the surface of an image creates new dimensions and offers different meanings for interpreting the image

So, the finest hour has come for those girls who did not shy away from needlework lessons at school and listened carefully to their mother or grandmother, who taught knitting and embroidery to "their clever girl."

So, the other day we talked about how the Japanese artist Miyuki Sakai embroiders illustrations on a sewing machine, and today we will tell you about the unusual portraits that you embroider
