Embroidered X-rays by Matthew Cox.
‘Necklace with Bouquet.’
‘Bracelets and Limes.’
‘Wading Knees.’
‘New Knee with Tulips.’
‘Wrapped Wrist.’
‘Banana.’
‘Lips.’
‘Heartthrob #2, David Bowie.’
Matthew Cox is a Philadelphia based artist who embraces and joins a variety of media in his work. His medical x-ray and embroidery series is just soooo… oh, I don’t know… bizarre, bad-ass and pretty amazing all at once.
The contrast of decorative and technical, labour-intensive and instant comes together so beautifully, and I love the way Matthew’s touch makes lifeless x-rays literally come to life. Clever. And a little bit crazy. But mostly really clever.
