Painterly portraits stitched over photographs by Yoon Ji Seon

Posted: 13 Nov 2014 09:00 PM PST

Korean artist Yoon Ji Seon creates portraits by stitching over photographs using a sewing machine. The photographs get completely covered under multiple layers of thread. The stitching is done loosely and has loose threads hanging from them to create a painterly effect. Parts of face are often obscured creating a new identity similar to masks. The multiple layers of the artwork follows the Buddhist theory that there is no one true form instead an object occurs in multiple forms.
