Artist's Description:
Kirstin Lamb makes labor-intensive images of labor-intensive textiles and wallpapers.Lamb paints images that are not already patterns by generating a digitized grid from which I paint each stitch by hand with acrylic and acrylic gouache on a wet media acetate. This is a simple process of re-painting a textile or pattern, sometimes an invented image-generated textile, sometimes an actual knit or textile pattern (cross stitch or embroidery). The brush creates a one-to-one relationship of mark to stitch; each mark stands in for a move of the needle.
