ARTIST FEATURE: KIRSTIN LAMB: EMBROIDERY PAINTINGS
I call the gridded high-detail paintings on transparent acetate embroidery paintings. I generate a digitized grid and paint each gridded stitch by hand with acrylic or acrylic gouache on wet media acetate.
Many of the embroidery paintings I make are images of floral wallpaper cropped from French wallpaper of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The re-presenting of this particular decorative movement is for me an echoing of the darker uses of antiquity as a stand in for beauty and power.

Each original painting is 8" x 10" and $200 - an affordable way to own a work by a critically-acclaimed artist. Lamb has been featured in Art News, Hyperallergic, and Elle Decor among other publications.
