Amanda Mccavour

Amanda Mccavour is an artist based in Toronto. She makes large installations using embroidery to create the objects. Mccavour uses a sewing machine and embroiders onto a fabric that dissolves in water to make these drawings. The purpose is to explore the vulnerability of the thread and the strength it gains when it is sewn together. The installations consist of either abstract concepts or natural phenomena. This ranges from symmetrical doodles to plants, and even the recreation of everyday objects such as an iron.
