Stitchin’ in the Kitchen

@ Arts Centre Washington

Jane Sanders is North East based textile artist.

Her pictures depict iconic pop stars, ranging from Elvis to Amy Winehouse.  Jane creates the work on an old-fashioned sewing machine, and also employs techniques such as appliqué, embroidery and beading.  She changes traditional crafting into contemporary art.  The result is a series of colourful, engaging and unique portraits.

Jane feels it is important to celebrate pop culture, a subject which everybody can relate to; and is inspired by the audience’s love of their musical heroes.

She presents familiar faces in a whole new light.
