由丝线和钉子制成的独特新肖像画

      这是艺术家之一山下久美的两幅新肖像作品。第一个是她的星座系列《魔力2》的一部分。这幅肖像画是由一根未断的缝纫线穿过密集的镀锌钉网制成的，这个过程需要几个月的时间。第二幅作品《母亲2》是她正在进行的经纬系列的一部分，山下用一块黑色粗斜纹棉布制作，然后一丝不苟地从布料上剪下丝线，形成一个形象。如果你恰好在加州，这两幅作品将于2013年4月20日至6月1日在拉霍亚的斯科特·怀特当代艺术中心(Scott White Contemporary Art)举行一场集体展览。

Two new portraits this morning from one of my favorite artists Kumi Yamashita (previously). The first one is part of her Constellation series titled Mana #2. The portrait is made from a single unbroken sewing thread wrapped through a dense network of galvanized nails, a process that takes several months. The second artwork, Mother #2, is part of her ongoing Warp and Weft series where Yamashita works with a panel of black denim and then meticulously cuts threads from the fabric to form an image. If you happen to be in California, both works will be in a group show from April 20th through June 1st, 2013 at Scott White Contemporary Art in La Jolla. You can also now follow the artist over on Facebook.
