Faces Embroidered on Tulle Become Unconventional Masks at the Right Angles

Ele­na, aka Sat­urno Rosa, thinks of embroi­dery as a mask. Stitch­ing on tulle fab­ric, she cre­ates frag­ments of faces with­in a wood­en hoop. From a dis­tance, her cho­sen mate­r­i­al appears almost non-exis­tent with only the stitch­es vis­i­ble. Ele­na then holds the hoop to her face and has a whole new look; she dons a pur­ple nose, seri­ous­ly long eye-lash­es, and col­or­ful lip­stick. This com­bi­na­tion of craft and pho­tog­ra­phy is a delight­ful­ly Sur­re­al­ist take on the everyday.
