Suspended Threads by Amanda McCavour
“In my work, I use a sewing machine to create thread drawings and installations by sewing into a fabric that dissolves in water. This fabric makes it possible for me to build up the thread by sewing repeatedly into my drawn images so that when the fabric is dissolved, the image can hold together without a base. These thread images appear as though they would be easily unraveled and seemingly on the verge of falling apart, despite the works actual raveled strength.’ — Amanda McCavour, Artist Statement

Scrap Metal Ecstasy by Karen Cusolito
Standing in a giant-sized 30 feet and weighting in at over 9 tons, Karen’s scrap metal masterpiece depicts a woman in mid-euphoria. On closer inspection and really, why wouldn’t you want to take a closer look, you can see a skeletal structure beneath the wire outer frame.
