Stitchy Stitchy

Call it OCD or insanity if you will, but stitching words has become a major part of my latest work and occupied a good part of the 'Old Glory' Show.

I spent many many hours hand sewing these small works. Its like the antithesis of most of my other work, its slow and methodical, repetative but strangely satisfying.

It certainly occupies a completely different head space to spraying stencils.... but I guess cutting stencils is just as repetative. Stencilling is seen as rebelious because of its street art roots, but its easy to forget that someone needs to cut out the stencils for hours & they have probably spent ages staring at their screen in photoshop tweaking the image, so its all a choice of methodology, cutting, stitching, photoshopping, stencilling, ironing, its all an ongoing process...

Heres my latest::


See more here on my stitch 2 gallery page.........

The PDF catalogue of the latest show can be found on the steal from work website here

New Work added & PDF Catalogue

I recently had a Massive Website rehaul and have now added all the new work to the Flags & Fabrics Galleries, also added the new 'Book Stencils' section that were all in my solo show 'Old Glory' in Bristol.

The pdf, catalogue can now be downloaded from here: http://www.stealfromwork.org/

Old Glory is open.....

The candles were lit, flags draped, beers popped open and the doors were open for the curiously warming show that is 'Old Glory'...... Friday night was a good night to remember, its one of those rare shows that I can happily stand back from and fully say that I'm happy.....Steal From Work have made the show look phenominally gorgeous. The night was also good to put faces to names & meet peeps that I had only met through cyber world... and before i knew it I was sipping white russian and contemplating the odd journey I've been on this year... This year has been a good one..... and for that I feel incredibly lucky......

So, 'Old Glory', conveniently titled now that America is perhaps discarding the politics of 'old' and bringing in the new...

I can't help but think of how my use of American flags now almost seems to have a new meaning, could we happily be seeing the end to fear culture? Obama has a huge ball of crap to untangle, but I believe he is the man for the job, the world should be safer now that the war mongering ignorant clown that is Bush has less than 2 months to cause any more mischief. Anyway, enough rambling, heres some pretty pictures of the show... all the images are on my flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/pamglew/
