Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Lindzeanne

~ humoringthegoddess

Lindzeanne (Lindsey) is an embroidery artist based in Tokyo, Japan.

Her work is inspired by traditional Japanese textile traditions such as sashiko, indigo dying, and the concept of “mottainai” or “waste nothing”.

 Lindzeanne’s work uses only second-hand or vintage textiles to create colourful, vibrant, highly textural hand-stitched pieces.

Through her work, the artist aims to catalogue the passage of time and investigate the relationship between color and form by making the unseen seen with simple needle and thread.

Lindzeanne began stitching in order to upcycle clothing, a practical hobby that quickly became more of a drawing practice.

Embroidery floss isn’t common in Japan, so the artist instead picked up basic hand-sewing and traditional sashiko threads that she stitches into second fabrics.

The resulting works are rife with patterns.

“To me, colors have a personality to them, and shapes have a weight and character to them, so when I’m thinking of a piece in my mind, or sitting down to cut fabric, I’m always imagining the push and pull, or the gravity that certain shapes and colors have with one another,” Lindzeanne says.

  5. I don’t think my comment went through so I am trying again. I love this work and find it to strongly remind me of aboriginal art. Do you see this too? blessings, litebeing

  6. Absolutely amazing. Long ago I took a textiles class in the art department. We learned about natural dies and weaving and embroidery stitches one assignment was to make a wall hanging out of several individual died fabric and include embroidery stitches found objects from our house and yard. I still have my wall hanging but wish I’d been aware of Lindzeanne and seen her art. Mine might have been more complex.
