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 second part of our NeedleXChange we discuss Kathy's fearless approach to problem solving and how she plays with media to bridge reality and fiction. And we have a good old chinwag about British TV as well.
