“I like my work to engage a wide audience, so there are elements that appeal to young children and also an older generation,” she added in an interview with AG Gallery. “My main objective when creating new work for exhibition is to incite feelings of comfort, joy and nostalgia – when I make a piece that encapsulates all of these elements, I am satisfied with the work!”

Working with no template or prior pattern, each of her pieces is one of a kind, making it all the more unique in an age of mass production. “I like to devise new characters all the time!” says the Melbourne-based artist. “I get an idea in my head or sketch something out and am not satisfied until I work it up into a 3D character.”

A creative at heart, Rabbit experiments with other mediums as well. Aside from her soft sculptures, she has also published children’s books and has collaborated with her good pal and artist, Isobel Knowles, under the name Soft Stories.

Here are some highlights from her Instagram page:

“Most of my pieces vary, but for my ideal piece, I start by taking a photograph of the subject, and then I edit the image —for me, contrast is really important, as are the colors— and then I usually work from a black-and-white reference,” relayed Clough in an interview with Rebel Girls Boundless. “I trace the line work onto whatever surface I’m embroidering on, and then I start ‘coloring it in’ with thread. I just think of it as, you know, tracing and coloring in. Which is like a child’s dream.”

Born in Cape Town, Clough completed her studies in art direction and graphic design at The Red and Yellow School before carving herself a niche in visual art, digital design, and “thing-making.” Her career path is as diverse as her creative interests, having worked in photography, graphic design, and VJing, before fully committing herself to the art of embroiderer.

Her career choice seems to have worked out for the best, with clients that include brands like Gucci, Adobe, and Nike, as well as renowned actress Drew Barrymore; and features in publications like the New York Times and the Evening Standard.

Much like her chosen subjects, her materials of choice are unique, if knotty. Combining painting, paper making, graphics, and textiles, she creates delicate art pieces that explore the borderlines of physical and immaterial feelings. Hard to pinpoint exactly, her art is located somewhere between painting, graphic art, and textile.

“I like to break intangible things into pieces and, in a way, rename or reorganize them by using the material structure,” explains Jokinen. “I am looking for analogies to the material and immaterial structures and the closest features appear in own our bodies. Very often in these cases, the question arises about what is really tangible and what is not and where is the borderline between physical things and emotions.”

Using fiber instead of paint, her stitches remind us of illustrated lines. But though they may look fragile, much like the human body, her artwork proves to be resilient. Scroll down to see some of her work.

“Fashion and textiles are interconnected, and this has led to my interest in textile art,” said Gilbertson in an interview with Textile Artist. “I don’t consider myself a textile artist, although I am often defined as such. I’d prefer to be regarded as a contemporary artist who uses textile materials to create art.”

However she wants to define it, the result is equally striking, with her artwork combining wool, spraypaint, and tapestry canvas to create an alternative interpretation of a traditional pastime. “My work has evolved in many directions,” says Gilbertson. “I’ve experimented with color, voids of stitching, ways of framing, methods of stitching and design processes.”

Aside from her artwork, Gilbertson also works as a performance sportswear designer and fashion lecturer. Based in Cambridge, UK, she admits to connecting her work with memories. “All my work contains fond memories, usually of moments in time with family and friends that are captured within the canvas,” she says. “I can usually remember what was going on in my life at the time of stitching a particular work.”

Dividing her time between Melbourne, Australia, and Brooklyn, NY, she works as both artist and mentor: designing and creating woven wall hangings, developing weaving kits, and teaching workshops across the world.

“I love what I do,” she told Created Here. “It has evolved so slowly that I have been able to make small movements in the direction that felt right at the time. I have brought on people who are invested in the vision, and we work together to make sure everyone is feeling happy and secure at each point of change. We really feel like a family.”

“Weaving is really a therapy for me,” she went on to say. “It allows me to explore emotions that I otherwise don’t give myself time to fully appreciate and explore. I like to return to the same moment or emotion a number of times to delve deeper, weaving the same emotion from different angles.”

Her work is sold both on Etsy and through online shops and boutiques around the country, but you can also enjoy it from afar through her Instagram page. Here are some of her page’s highlights:
