"Embrace" © Leslie Giuliani 20"x20" Digital embroidery, hooking, and encaustic on linen |
Giuliani says, "This exhibition will include works featuring a range of
textile technique combinations including digital embroidery, hand embroidery,
digital textile printing, cyanotype photography, sewing and rug hooking
embellished with encaustic painting.
Juxtaposing images naturally creates free narrative
associations. The images and compositions and the stories they imply are
interesting, colorful and fun on their own but beyond that, the unusual
combination of materials will compel further exploration.
The embroidered and printed images will all be translations
of my original drawings and paper cutouts into textile form. Rug hooking will
be used, not in a traditional functional way, rather, as a means to color areas
and draw lines."
