Izziyana Suhaimi
|
I came across Izziyana Suhaimi’s work last week through The Shiny Squirrel, and thought it was perfect inspiration for tonight’s Friday AfterWorkShop on basic embroidery and applique, taught by Annie Coggan.
Dubbed one of Singapore’s “hottest creatives” by Nylon Izziyana says this about herself/work: “Endlessly curious. My work primarily involves the use of embroidery. I am interested in collapsing the boundaries between traditional and popular cultures and exploring the links that exist between these two. My work examines how this particular mishmash manifests itself in modern times, especially concerning modern youths. Preferring to work with craft-based techniques, I am attracted to the evidence of the hand and its time-consuming aspect, which runs counter to the instant gratification and mass-production centred age of today.”
There are a few seats left, so come join us! Friday, Aug 3, 6-9PM (BYOB!) Manhattan Location $50 – REGISTER
