In the 1960s, feminist artists took up needlework and used embroidery in their works, thus moving the technique away from being considered a primarily feminine hobby and away from the realm of crafts.
Whether academically or with complete freedom, the contemporary embroiderers encountered by Charlotte Vannier use all sorts of media (cotton canvas, photographs, plastic, food, wire mesh) to create miniature or colossal, monochrome or variegated, graphic, abstract or figurative, delicate or brutal works.
De fil en aiguille presents the journey of 82 artists from all generations and continents, their influences, the technical challenges they face and the message they wish to convey through their works.
