I fell in love with the hand embroidered portraits by Cayce Zavaglia. This work of art stood out to me the most because of the way all the different colors of thread are placed just right to create a blend of colors that when you step back from looks strikingly like just your average painting. With ever step you take closer to the piece you notice more and more texture and small detail. I also love how when you turn a piece over it reveals all the knots and tangles of the process. Its kinda like the two sides to a person, one side is shown in your everyday life, regular old you. But underneath it all you have this other side, one that is not so pretty and maybe you aren't so willing to share with the world.
