Peter Crawley’s Stitched Illustrations
Recently we were wowed by the stitched illustrations of Peter Crawley. Working either abstractly or architecturally, Crawley creates his precise linework using thread and needle. Yup, needle and thread. This Betsy Ross technique combines exceptionally well with his precise decisions and modern themes.
His style and language with this medium continue to grow as can be seen in the more intricate interpretation of the Empire State building at the bottom of this page. And just to give you an idea of the work involved, at the time of the photo the piece was made up of “Approx. 40+ hrs work so far, 1500 holes pierced, 33m of cotton stitched.” to which we respond, dammmn.
