Tiny stitches are a hallmark of work by Lindsey, aka Lindzeanne. Based in Tokyo, the embroidery artist is inspired by traditional Japanese textile techniques such as sashiko stitching and indigo dye. The concept of mottainai, or “waste nothing,” is also a cornerstone of her fiber art. Lindsey uses second-hand or vintage textiles and adorns them with small, geometric stitches that add both color and texture to the fabrics.
In doing so, the textiles are completely reborn.”…[She] aims to catalog the passage of time,” Lindsey’s about statement reads, “and investigate the relationship between color and form by making the unseen seen with simple needle and thread.” This is exemplified in a bucket hat-turned-skull collaboration with the brand MUTSU. Using a lot of stitches, she highlights the form of the hat and makes it completely unique in the process.
