Hand stitched embroidery art has gone from traditional to ultra modern, from pretty flowers and basic lettering to pixilated landscapes and video game characters, and Michelle Hamer is one of those cutting edge stitchsters changing the way we think of needlearts.
Michelle’s embroidery focuses on cityscapes, and in particular the textual elements such as signs and billboards found in the urban jungle. But her billboards feature enlightening slogans like "Only a little bit dead" and "Blame and punish the individual", definitely not the kind of slogan embroidery artists once sewed onto samplers.
