MY PROCESS – ARTWORK
When old becomes your new favorite.
Artwork
N A N Á kintsugi embroidery artwork is primarily made from preloved material. I try to save as many natural vintage threads, fabric bits and discarded wood for framing as possible, and include them in my art creations.
I try to use up what I already have first, with a focus on natural creative material. Otherwise, I always look for (handmade) recycled paper and eco canvases without harmful chemicals.
I am a big advocate of slow, mindful, fair and conscious creative process. Every kintsugi stitch is a meditational hug. In my shop, you can find originals that can warm the walls of many homes.
I am choosing my creative materials very carefully, so that my kintsugi embroidery artworks are supporting me and the environment to thrive.
