Stephen Sollins

The New York based artist Stephen Sollins explores the disparity between high an low in his latest exhibition by transforming secondhand, embroidered linens into abstract modernist patterns. Sollins removes the old embroidery ant then re-embroiders the linen with exactly the same number of stitches in exactly the same colours. I have always found this discussion very interesting, the gap between the high art and the folkart, the good taste vs the bad taste. I found his work via the great artblog Dear Ada, be sure to check it out!
