At left: Boerum Place and Pacific Street, the start of my run. A bleak corner across from New York Sports Club Cobble Hill. Lots of construction on the block.
At right: Atlantic Ave and Boerum Place, turning the corner and ramping uphill.
An art project in and of itself, wereisobesotted.blogspot.com accompanies my hand-embroidered blog of the same name. Here, I describe in more detail how I arrive at my embroideries. I welcome your stories, anecdotes, and feedback.
These are great Iviva (the posts and the pieces). I like the way you wrote about them, I felt like I was travelling along with you.
ReplyDeleteI can't beleive you stitched the maps all over again on those bags.
A great street art installation!
Thanks, Flying Haystacks.
ReplyDeleteI ran again this morning, and saw that some of my postings are still up. One was flying in the breeze, set free the way I feel when I run.
Having done the initial installation, I'm not sure that the project makes sense...I feel as though there are several different ideas here, and I'm not sure that they cohere.
I plan to start a journal of my running routes, by stitching a map of each run. I will put these together in a book.
This will coincide nicely with The Embroidered Art Journal class I'm teaching. I think I will make this my project for the class.
