A sharp pin 16.04.12

‘Sewn found photos’ is my sharp pin today by artist Lisa Kokin. It was originally from the dailyartmuse website written in 2007. Kokin takes old photographs, cuts them out and creates identities for them. In this example they are like paper dolls but standing in a circle talking to each other.

Now I’m not sure if you noticed but I’m a big fan of artists who clearly use the things around them to make their art. It is resourceful (thrifty, nifty and gifty) but makes them super imaginative!
