Fresh after her recent exhibition at the group showing, ‘The Sum of the Parts’ at the Maryland Art Place in Baltimore, the very talented Emily Barletta has just added some new works to her portfolio. I think they are gorgeous in their simplicity, especially when compared to some of her more complex (yet equally fab’) pieces.
Have a look some of the new stitched pieces and see what you think:
Apparently, Ms Barletta has loved needlework and crafts since her childhood in Utah. After graduating from Baltimore’s Maryland Institute College of Art with a bachelor’s degree in fibre arts, she embarked on a path utilising techniques she had previously used in her hobbies and applying them to fine art.
I love the way her work has an organic feel to it, and the way she interprets old home-style crafts into incredible and detailed modern works of fibre art.
I would love the ‘untitled 10′ piece for my wall.
Alternatively, a bowl of these would make me happy:
Go and check out some of her other work at EmilyBarletta.com. It’s amazing!
