Badass Embroidery by Ana Teresa Barboza.

Peruvian artist Ana Teresa Barboza is so mother f*@$#!%g badass with embroidery and drawings. No, but seriously, have you ever seen embroidery look this mean? Except for maybe this one time, at band camp…

There’s something so captivating about these images, don’t you think? They are equal parts delicate, feminine, gruesome and spine-tingling. As you know, it’s so easy to draw me in with a bit of quality paradox action, especially when mixed with this much emotion… Errr, and a wee bit of masochism. Oh no, what does that say about me? Please do not answer that!
