Boetti's Mappa and Tutti
Every one of these art works are embroidered by hand, needle, thread, little stitches:
This is from his piece 'one to a hundred and back'. I wanted to show the stitches but needed the zoom and the clarity is diminished when I zoom.
Count the dots.
I like the piece because it reminds me of a piece Frankie did of a stick figure. It grows and changes just adding one piece at a time.
There is so much, but I want to point out that the Tutti piece is made up of many images:
people, glasses, corkscrew, outlines of countries
And the three graces, Euphroseyne, Agalaea, and Thalia [Beauty, Charm and Joy]. They look like they are modeled after Raphael's 'Three Graces'. It is said to be the first time Raphael painted the female nude front and back.
