Claire Coles creates delicate images using vintage wallpapers as well as other surfaces to create new original designs. Her work is very feminine and has an intricacy about it. I have found her work interesting mainly because of her use of stitch in her designs. The quality of the stitched line is shaky and open, and yet structural and tight within the stiiches themselves. The layered papers and surfaces create soft, subtle textures, and the stitch creates a sense of movement. The use of the continuous line and the stitch line quality are both things that have always interested me.
