Stitched portraits

Yoon Ji Seon's embroidered portraits blend fiber and photography. Much of work consists of self-portraits, with varying degrees of emotions, abstraction, and detail. Her "Rag Face" series goes back to 2006, when she started experimenting with these mixed-media pieces.

I am fascinated by the idea that my portraits may be living. Do you remember the bit in the witches where the little girl trapped in the painting moves around and ages? My nine year old eyes were wide. I think out of all my embroideries Cordelia has lived the most, she has personally travelled to Mexico, made friends, had a lesbian experience, contemplated death and been a grownup rainbow bright. Below we have The Nine Lives of Cordelia.... In the Skylight of Dalston Superstore with Tear…

Maurizio Anzeri- i love the use of photography and the distortion created by the stitch. I also like the colour scheme of thread.
