"The Hole" by Yeni Kim |
The elements are (digitally?) printed onto fabric, and machine quilted; the writing around the middle is hand embroidered and says something like "the hole that I have inside me is growing bigger - I tried to fill it with books, poetry, music, [etc etc] but now I'm not going to worry about it any more - I'll use it to swim in"
She's got a nice idea for a "business card" too - given that people would take a photo of it on their phones -Have a look at her other projects on the RCA Show website, where you can see the work of students from various courses.
