After a long hiatus, Australian artist Nike Savvas created this series of large-scale geometric pieces titled Liberty and Anarchy/ The pieces were part of her “comeback” show at Leeds Gallery in the UK.
It goes without saying that these embroidered sculptures (for lack of a better term), are stunning! All the colours and shapes make them super hypnotic. There’s definitely no better way to come back after a long creative break than with a HUGE BANG. In this case a very colourful bang.
Can you imagine making some of these pieces on a smaller scale? Say, for your desk or shelf as art for one’s home? AH! Maybe the artist could come up with a DIY!!..Though, she might slap me in the face for suggesting that haha.

i can’t imagine what it took to make these pieces to scale! reminds me of another artist’s work i recently saw: Kumi Yamashita. she makes portraits using a single thread and nails – amazing.

oh my god! I just googled her, AMAZING! Same as you, can’t even begin to think how long this would take, and their precision is just crazy.
