embroided bones

driven by the notion of redefinition, philadelphia-based artist matthew cox has created
a body of work that combines the traditional medium of embroidery with plastic x-ray films.
proportionally true to the body part being pictured, the injection of stitches often depict
elements of flora in a dreamscape-like scenery. the wildly contrasting materials are
together read as something new and different from their original purpose. awesome!
