Western designs have always been part of the Studio vibe. The landscapes and iconography of cowboys, horses and Americana have been an inspiration since Stephen created his Americana series in 2018. The petites feature icons, horses, cacti and many other symbols created with yarn, embroidery and appliqué. The pieces all start with up-cycled luxury boxes or shopping bags that are trimmed into the background shape, collaged and then embroidered. The embroidery is stitched directly through the actual box itself. Each petite features intricate embroidery stitches that truly make each one unique. The western icons are then added in relief on the background truly making a three dimensional piece. Each petite is framed and mounted in acrylic. Each is unique and signed and numbered on the back Framed size is 5” wide by 5” high 2024 About the artist : Stephen Wilson expertly crafts extraordinary and timeless designs using sustainable materials.
