Image Research
Pre-Industrial
A very common technique, the needle and thread.
Industrial
For the industrial period I chose Barthélemy Thimonnier. I found him and his sewing machines interesting because he was at the forefront of the industrial revolution with his machines. However, he became a target for workers in the sewing industry, who were afraid of the competition. In the end, his machines never became common and the man died poor. We think of the industrial revolution as this thing that just sort of 'happened' because now we look back at the succes. I just find these little footnotes in history more interesting.
Contemporary
Just like the first image, I kept it simple in a way. When looking for modern stitching techniques in shops or other places you will still find sewing machines. They're still as big a part of modern sewing technologies as ever.
Sigrid Calon
Sigrid Calon is a personal favorite of mine, coming from a textile-oriented education she eventually made the step over to graphic design. However, her designs are still based on her previous embroidery works. She designed shapes and forms using a sort of embroidery technique in her head. So even there is never a thread to be seen, it is still very much part of her graphic design work. This, however, has more to do with knitting. As a promotion for Het Kanten Huis she knitted over an entire house.
