Details
Originally released in the USA on June 2, 1967 as the Beatles album you could listen to. This artwork is about the connection of music, the medium of thread, hand-digitalized drawing, and embroidery machine technology in creative yet unconventional methods.
To make the art, each thread must be hand-digitized using digital drawing tools on a scan of the actual album as a backdrop. Every stitch is drawn by hand, one at a time. Each album cover is embroidered directly through the actual paper sleeve. The albums take up to 8 hours to embroider and can contain over 200,000 stitches. This album is Unique Variation 8 of 8 presented in an acrylic shadowbox frame.
