Doilies (SARS)
Laura Splan. Doilies (SARS), 2004.
Description:
The design of each doily is based on the structure of a different virus. I begin with a digital image of the virus, upon which I base a design in a graphics editor. The design is then imported into computerized embroidery software and the stitches are laid out and manipulated. Finally, the designs are output from a computerized sewing machine.
