free machine embroidery, Car Pump, 1 |
I am really excited by these! Whilst I do need to find a better way to photograph the work, the idea is still presented - fantastic car components that represent a male job - car mechanics / maintenance: they have been covered with a delicate fabric that represents the iconic female skill of embroidery. The components parts are made of steel, the fabric from thread therefor passionately suggesting the link between men and women, but also the differences - but are they? At first thought, the competent parts are strong and bold, perfectly formed whilst the feminine thread soft and fragile, the fabric is just made of individual stitches that easily break. But when carefully formed, the structure is strong and beautiful. They are not perfect in form but this allows a very enjoyable, organic state.
