Detail of Rhapsody of Colour, 2011, Michala Gyetval
Artist Michala Gyetval is featured this month at the Herbert Gallery in Coventry, U.K., teaching “Landscapes in Threads” workshops. As a child, she was fascinated by threads and fibers, even creating her own dyes with blackberries and onions.
Embroidered Landscape, Michala Gyetval
Gyetval twists fibres, using thick wool, crocheted cotton, and fine silks to create her artistic landscapes.
Visit Michala’s Flickr site for a fun explosion of color and design. The site features finished artwork, but also offers insight into her process. You can view her inspiration in sketches and landscape photography, and also view pieces spread out along her sewing machine and work table. They really convey a sense of scope and complexity as you view her process in action. Michala Gyetval on Flickr.
