Chicago-based artist William J. O’Brien has a diverse discipline that includes painting, sculpture, drawing and installation. We are most drawn to his work of felt collages with its geometric shapes and repetitive patterns. The artist makes precise cut-outs that are then stitched against a neutral background showing an art form intricately expressed through material and process.

Karin Lundström is a textile designer based in Umea, Sweden. She designs and sews garments in flax working with stitches, cloth and wire in a variety of ways. We are, however, most excited about her contemporary embroidery work on paper exhibited last year. Many of the designs from this show can be seen here on Instagram. You can also follow her on Facebook.
