i’m jealous of tim moore

WHY HAVE I NEVER LEARNED TO EMBROIDER?!

Tim Moore is a British-born artist now living in Australia. These two pieces are from his solo show, Sew Natural, at the Helen Gory Gallery. What do I love about these? It’s a fine blend of the nude, gun-toting grandmother, the bunny hats/flip flops/saggy boobs of the ladies in the second piece, and of course, the skillful sewing that could put any Nana to shame.

    British, yet he’s managed to sew the essence of Oklahoma. I’m really in love with your blog.

    Hi, stumbled across your blog whilst looking for a link for my own blog! I just appeared in a magazine back to back with this guy and thoroughly enjoyed looking at his work! I wanted to draw some more attention to it via my own blog, I’m sure you don’t mind a nice link to yours (though please do tell if you do!)
    Very nice idea for a blog indeed – I feel your pain sometimes Jealous Curator!!
