to stitch; a thread or line that holds things together- this is the literal translation of the ancient sanskrit word "sutra". in the "healing sutras" i use contemporary embroidery on antique fabric as a canvas to explore the common threads that bind countless generations of women. wounds - both physical and psychological - are given life using delicate, meditative stitches. traditionally thought of as "woman's work", sewing is a time consuming and contemplative process, each thoughtfully considered stitch becoming integral to the whole.

when i first saw erin endicott embroidery i had

to gasp for air. it's so stunningly beautiful-

that i have to share it with the world.

it's captivating, hauntingly beautiful, delicate,

organic, subtle, memories, threads, mended,

comely, cloth, antique + inspirational.

erin is having a solo show in new york city @ the White

Rabbit-opening friday october 1st. this is a link for the show http://artanagnorisis.wordpress.com/.

i wish i could be there!

process:

God enters through the wound”

-CJ Jung

Antique fabrics, clothing and linens

My dowry passed down through generations

My history woven into this cloth

A fine cotton tablecloth

Lovingly mended by my great-grandmother

Becomes a little girl’s dress

Delicate cloth

Beautifully worn and threadbare

Stained by an artist’s hand

Walnut ink flowing into complex organic shapes

Subtleties of value, depth

Bringing the wound to life

Lost in the meditation of stitching

Repetition, contemplation

From within the fabric

Memories reveal themselves

Stitches, like words

The story grows

Lines graceful, unfurling

Drawing with thread

The Healing begins

new beginnings.... feeling the need for something "gentler"

thank you erin...
