Another embroidery exhibition that would have passed my attention a few years ago, that now I run to and eat up. The more I look into and do embroidery, the more I am aware of the connections of this craft with another one that I have studied much more–architecture. There are similar issues concerning material capabilities, choices about drawing attention to connections vs. surface treatments, and of course the long history of aesthetics that are common across regional crafts.

This one addressed a pretty vast landscape, from China to Türkiye, exemplified by theatre costumes, decorative arts, and recent fashion. It was really scrumptuous.
