Embroidered Snacks and Food 



In the ongoing series Embroidered OrdinariesAlicja Kozlowska translates the mass production of Pop Art into tightly stitched sculptures. The Polish artist sews packages of Oreos and half-eaten cookies, rusted cans with peeled-back tops, and 12-packs of Coca-Cola at full scale, recreating the recognizable logos and designs of ubiquitous snacks and goods. Each work begins with a felted structure the artist covers in myriad knots and stitches, which produces textured iterations that reflect on consumerism and the lasting impacts of over-consumption.

Find more of the Embroidered Ordinaries sculptures on Kozlowska’s site, and keep an eye on her Instagram for upcoming additions.

Wednesday, WonderWoman was in town. She and Alicia picked me up, then Ashli and we four went to Ponzu for lunch. A real treat!                                                                                                                                           Thank you Alicia!


No food photos, too busy talking, listening and eating. We went back to Ashli's beautiful home, to see the 3 young Siamese kittens.





Ashli funds the entire rescue. She has rescues, fosters and her own plus Molly the dog supervising. She's a non profit so any donations are a write it off. ( https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/SERPZ7TPVZNG?ref_=wl_share )

Jacki, I love your excellent collage. Again, just a few pieces but not one more needed to create so much interest.
I learn so much reading your blog, Jacki. Today's artist is also new to me and as I love (traditional) embroidery I like what she makes.
Also today you have such good Sunday smiles. Thank you!

Your collages continue to delight me. Im so glad you spent time with WW and friends this week and eat good food! Bye for now. xo Irene
