Grethe Sørensen Abstract Sculptures
Danish, b. 1947
Grethe Sørensen revolutionized the art of tapestry by inventing a method to convert photographic pixels into threads. She also translates video recordings into woven textiles, both processes marrying traditional methods of craftsmanship to modern digital technology. Although she is regarded as a pioneer in the field of textile art for her integration of digital techniques, Sørensen is also extremely knowledgeable in traditional tapestry methods, which she studied in Switzerland and France in the late 1970s. Inspired by nature and the colors, light, and optical phenomena that surround her, Sorensen portrays this imagery through digital tools, like her handloom with digital thread control for small works or an industrial, mechanical jacquard loom for larger pieces. Often turning an unfocused camera lens to urban cities, Sørensen's tapestries transform the lights and abstracted elements of the city into contemporary, metropolitan dreamscapes.
"Textile is the continuing theme in my life. I am fascinated by fibers and weaving techniques. Exploration of the two systems of threads - warp and weft crossing on another - is a continuous challenge. I am fascinated by constructing matter by means of thread – three-dimensional shapes or two-dimensional planes with shapes and colors - in which the material, the structure and the weaving techniques are necessary and indispensable parts of the matter. I dye most of my materials. I am fascinated by gradating colors, which I dye on the warp before the weaving, varying the colors by mixing threads of different nuances in the warp. In my tapestries I often combine these gradations with transformation or dissolving of patterns." - Grethe Sorensen(Biography provided by Browngrotta Arts)

"Petroleum Bubble Sunsets" Custom ALIFE sneakers, Abstract dimensional paint
By PJ Linden
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This piece titled "Petroleum Bubble Sunsets (pair)" is an original artwork by PJ Linden and is made from dimensional paint on ALIFE Leather Suede Sneakers. This piece measures 6.5"h x 8.5'w 11"d each shoe.
Linden uniquely refines the use of non-traditional mediums, such as the kitschy, dimensional fabric paint, oft-referred to as puff paint, seeking to transfigure the biological into the supernatural, as filtered through the prism of a consumerist culture predicated upon the synthetic and the mass-produced.
Born 1985 Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. PJ Linden is a New York City and Pennsylvania-based fine artist known for her abstract, three-dimensional work. She paints with machine-like precision, creating microscopic patterns on found objects, fashion, and technology. Linden got her start working with Patricia Field, creating custom, one-of-a-kind art and fashion under the name Wonderpuss Octopus. At Field's iconic, namesake boutique, Linden's work caught the eye of celebrity clients including Beyonce, Willow Smith, Kelly Osborne, and Solange Knowles...
