Nights, the cosmos and I

Nights, the cosmos and I

Natalia Zapella, Women's Studio Workshop

About this book

"Nights, the Cosmos, and I is about the geometry of the cosmos. It investigates the aesthetic quality of the sewing thread as a graphic resource, using embroidery to illustrate an original poem about nighttime and its wonders. Using the principles of subtlety and minimalism, three colors of thread merge with silkscreen-printed lines, encouraging you to take a more attentive look at the details, thus revealing their texture and tactile quality. The binding choice -- an open accordion book cased in a hardcover -- makes it possible to keep the thread ends out of sight, but still not completely hidden, for the process counts here as much as the result itself."--Publisher's website, http://www.wsworkshop.org/artists-books/new-artists-books-from-wsw/, viewed on June 15, 2015.
