i saw the most amazing embroidery art today at my favorite little local museum in randbøldal. it's by danish artist anne brodersen. anne and her husband were there, setting up the exhibition today, so i got to meet her. anne is a longtime weaver who turned to smaller embroidered works after some health problems a few years ago. the works are tiny but have a big impact.

i found myself quite emotional looking at them. they're evocative and have so much going on in such a small space. they provoked quite a longing in me...for ancient times, for symbols, for travel, for cave paintings, for small stitches, for some random yet ordered.

anne uses some very interesting techniques with tarred paper and a glue transfer of photos printed on ordinary paper and soaked in water. i so want to take a course with her. i will share more photos of her work tomorrow. i think i'm still letting it soak in.

I absolutely love them. They're all wonderful, but I think I like the third one best. Wish I could see them in person!
