Do you know what contemporary embroidery looks like?
The first three are from a series called 'Tourists contemplating the British Museum'by Rosie James. The next two are by Alice Kettle. The second to last is called 'Ruined forest' by Karen Richard. And the last one, my personal favourite, is by Susanne Greg.
There was a fabulous exhibit at the Bibliothèque Forney in Paris in June on contemporary art and embroidery; 49 international artists selected for the « PFAFF Art Embroidery Challenge 2009 » were exhibited at the library.
Jellyfish crop circle 2009
Article found in the Telegraph:
600ft jellyfish crop circle found in Oxfordshire field
A 600ft jellyfish pattern has appeared in a barley field in Kingstone Coombes, Oxfordshire, in what is one of the most intriguing crop circles ever seen in Britain.
The vast pattern appeared in the field last week (May 2009) and experts are claiming it to be the first of its kind in the world.
Karen Alexander, a crop circle expert, said: "We have seen butterfly and bird patterns in the past, but this is the first jellyfish crop circle in the world.
"It is absolutely huge - roughly three times the size of most crop patterns and extremely interesting. People have been aghast at the size of it. It is a complete monster.
"We are looking into the meaning of it, but at present it just seems to have appeared out of nowhere."
Crop circle theorists known as 'croppies' - believe the patterns are created by UFOs during nocturnal visits, or caused by natural phenomena such as unusual forms of lightning striking the earth.
