Tilleke Schwarz...I adore her embroidery work. It is bright, unorganized and
childish. The pieces she embroiders are inspired from folk art and things in her daily
life. Her work includes contemporary elements, text, traditional images from samplers,
graffiti, and icons. All of her works are hand embroidered and end up looking
like a page from a sketchbook. She does not plan out her embroideries nor does she use
an embroidery hoop or sewing machine. Her work is so simple, yet complex...as Jenn
would call it Eye Candy. She uses simple lines that I wish to carry over in
my work.
