Inspiration Amid Fragility

In searching for examples of collage quilts on Pinterest, I stumbled upon the inspirational Australian artist named Louise Saxton.   Louise Saxton Website  

She creates works of art using only scraps of sewing material, such as colored lines,cuffs and ruffles. She fixes each piece of fabric on an almost transparent tulle using tiny pins.

According to the artist, the fragility of the pieces are designed to point out the vulnerability of the traditional techniques of embroidery and the exotic animals they portray. Both threaten to disappear with time. For this artist, the feeling of loss of this legacy is imminent.

        

The pieces are truly amazing and here is the link to see a closer look
