Seeking Embroiderer (NYC Preferred) – Fine Art Collaboration
I am currently looking for a skilled embroiderer whose techniques and aesthetic align with the intricate, expressive embroidery seen in Alexander McQueen pieces.
For an upcoming show, I am incorporating embroidery directly into my paintings and am seeking a collaborator who can translate parts of my painted designs into embroidered elements on canvas prior to my painting process.
Project Details:
• Embroidery will be integrated into fine art paintings
• Designs include:
• Butterflies (approximately 4 inches wide)
• Feather motifs with long, cascading tassels extending off the canvas
• Work will be completed on canvas before painting begins
Logistics:
• Compensation: per painting (to be discussed)
• This is a remote position, but preference is given to NYC-based artists
• If needed, in-person check-ins at my Brooklyn studio would be ideal.
Requirements:
• Strong portfolio demonstrating embroidery work
• Ability to interpret and execute from visual art references
• Experience in bead work
If interested, please reach out with examples of your past work and a brief introduction.
Looking forward to finding the right collaborator for this body of work. Potential in future projects to come.
