As we all know, Pinterest gathers together images that their algorithm flags as things that may interest each of us, given our previous searches and pins. As I scroll down their latest selections I’m always on the watch for patterns that people are making with stitch<\/em>. Indeed one of my Pinterest boards is titled ‘Contemporary Stitch’ and the introduction to it reads “These are pins of stitch as art –\u00a0“<\/em> and it’s where I pin interesting images of what people are doing with hand stitch – one of my long term loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have found stitch filler patterning in other painters like Agnes Martin <\/a>, Liam Murphy<\/a>, and many contemporary Aboriginal painters. To me dots=french knots, short lines=straight stitches, and longer lines=couching, maybe – all of which there are plenty in this photo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
