In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Kathy Halper.Kathy Halper is a mixed media artist from Illinois whose art takes a leftfield look at life. Her embroidered pieces explore slices of normal life with wit and style but they are just part of Kathy's creative repertoire.In this first part of our NeedleXChange we explore the Joy Of Missing Out - the topics of Kathy's most recent series - and how Kathy's 2012 series looking at the emergence of teenage expression on Facebook turned out to be more controversial (and prescient) than she expected.Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Intro00:02:00 - JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out00:10:00 - The JOMO Series00:16:00 - Exploring Heritage and Folk Art00:18:00 - How Kathy started her textiles journey00:22:00 - Documenting Teenagers on FacebookLinks:Website: kathyhalper.comInstagram: kathyhalperstudioIntro music is Down By The Creek by Victor Lundberg via Epidemic Sound.About NeedleXChange:NeedleXChange is a conversation podcast with embroidery and textile artists, exploring their process and practice.Hosted by Jamie "Mr X Stitch" Chalmers, it is an in-depth showcase of the best needlework artists on the planet.Visit the NeedleXChange website: https://www.needl.exchange/Sign up for the NeedleXChange Newsletter here: https://bit.ly/NeedleXChangeIf you want embroidery inspiration and regular doses of textile art, visit the Mr X Stitch site here: https://www.mrxstitch.comIf you're looking for modern cross stitch designs, then XStitch is the magazine you need!Subscribe to XStitch Magazine here: https://xstitchmag.com/modern-cross-stitch-magazine/And follow Mr X Stitch on all the usual social media channels!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MrXStitchTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/MrXStitchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/MrXStitchPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/mrxstitch/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrjamiechalmersRSSVERIFY Hosted on Acast.
