An unexpected colourful interruption in a photograph from another time.
This original mixed-media artwork features a vintage sepia photograph, believed to date from around the 1930s, showing a small child standing in the middle of a tree-lined country road, dressed in a traditional bonnet and nightdress. Delicate circles in bright shades have been hand-embroidered directly into the photograph, bringing an unexpected splash of colour to the otherwise monochrome image.
I love the contrast between the old photograph and the playful addition of thread. The embroidery gives this familiar scene a slightly surreal quality, inviting you to look again and imagine a new story for an image from the past.
A one-of-a-kind piece for lovers of vintage photography, unusual artwork and the unexpected meeting of old and new.
