Ursina Amsler’s new work explores sewing on paper and other surfaces — all of the pieces incorporate stitching in some way, mostly with a machine, but some hand sewing too.
"The stitched elements complement the themes of feminine domesticity, journeys/migrations and nesting that I focussed on with my thesis exhibition last fall; sometimes the stitch-work suggests a quilted element, sometimes it suggests a pathway on a journey’s map."
