Philadelphia based artist Matthew Cox is best known for his x-ray work which highlights the contrasts between the two materials from the tactile to the technical.
I love his use of using two different materials to create beautiful embroidery images. This image caught my eye the most. I love when he creates the embroidery work the image is based on what’s happening outside the body and it’s in a beautiful location, I’m guessing the little girl is by the sea. I do find the x-ray very interesting to include in the embroidery images. I especially like how the plats on her hair come on to the x-ray making them really bold and standout. The colors in her hair are incredible I especially love the tone between the strands of hair.
I love the scenery of where the foot is placed. I especially love the technique of how the floor was stitched. I really love the plants and the blue sky. I’m really impressed how he managed to separate the wheat from the grass and flowers.
This is quite comedic but out of character compared to the original thinking of sceneries and x-rays. I like how he involved Miss Piggy in this, that alone should have credit. I especially love the hair in this image how he only focuses on tone separating the colors to make it look shiny.
