Hello!
I wanted to share with you an awesome experience and photography job I just had taking photos for a friend and amazing artist Martha Shade. She has been working hard on these embroideries and sculptures and is having her solo exhibition from October 4th through November 24th 2018 at ArtistXchange.
These embroidery pieces were such a feast for the eyes and had fun editing them to be as realistic in color as possible.
Here is where you can view her full catalogue and amazing sculptures too.
It was fun to see my name in the back and haven’t seen any of my photography published like this so that was cool.
However, I highly recommend viewing them in person! Her mosaic style embroidery adds a lot of depth and her artistic voice is really resonating with me. These pieces are connected with themes of loss, discovery, and observation presenting a cast of characters that are both enchanting and melancholy, blending global mythology with personal memory and contemporary social issues.
