I am so in love with this raw, unfinished embroidered illustration work by Berlin-based artist Nike Schroeder, wondering why I haven't heard about her before. At her website her work is described as following:
Her work is composed carefully and extremely detailed and at the same
time seemingly rough and unfinished, leaving the ends of the thread
hanging out of the pictures like a possible accident. The loose thread
adds an incidental component which is sometimes the result of
coincedence and at other times the consequence of precise calculation.
Either way the falling threads enrich the work with a movement, the
association to gravity and the resemblance of possible body fluids such
as blood.

Now, this amazing lady just finished a beautiful body of work entitled Berlin EG
that captures moments from her everyday life in our beautiful city. I love the
minimalistic quality and the unfinished strands that
dangle from each piece giving it an off-balance sort of energy that
really forces you to stop. A number of her works
are currently on display at Urban Outfitters Berlin. Step by and have a look yourself!
Enjoy!
