Phil Davison “XXX Stitch - XHibit”
Fuchs Projects
This event has ended.
Davison’s designs are varied. His visual universe being a mix of street art and popular culture. Davison is really inspired by image reproduction techniques; focusing on a configuration, be it in photography or a printing process. Phil attempts to see if, and how, it can be recreated in cross-stitch. This is a challenge in itself, as cross-stitch is constructed using a very meticulous method, which involves its own set of unique constraints. But it is exactly these challenges that push his work forward.
Some of Davison’s pieces can take up to 8 months of hand stitching to complete. To accurately render and mimic in cross-stitch the original technique that inspired its conception demands a high level of precision. It is exactly this dedication to precision, acquired over a decade of working in couture fashion, which drives his evolution of the craft into the realm of fine art.
