I hand-selected each album then set out to embroider them. To make the art, each thread must be hand-digitized using digital drawing tools on a scan of the actual album as a backdrop. Every stitch is drawn by hand, one at a time. The embroidery process itself is the most interesting and has to be seen to believe.

Embroidery stitched directly through a vinyl record sleeve.
12x12x2 inches, framed in acrylic.
A classic Bob Marley and the Wailers album that features a stylized illustration of him over a burlap background with the iconic red, gold and green lettering. I wanted this album to have depth and texture so I decided to use real burlap as a background and stitch Bob Marley on top of that. Once the burlap was appliquéd to the album I used three different satin appliqués for the figure and then sticker about 20 colors of rayon thread on top of the appliqué to give the form its detail. The lettering was stitched last, directly through the burlap.
The albums take up to 8 hours to embroider and can contain over 200,000 stitches. The series is created and designed to be hung together so you can add to your installation wall as you discover new pieces I create. Each of the albums comes with a signed certificate and is framed in acrylic and measures 12" x 12" x 2".
