The Soft Voice of the Evening

Linzeanne (Lindsey Gradolph)

Lindzeanne (Lindsey) is a self-taught free-form embroidery artist and English teacher based in Tokyo Japan. Her work is inspired by traditional Japanese textile traditions such as sashiko and indigo dying, and also the concept of “mottainai” or “waste nothing”. All of her work uses only second hand or vintage textiles to create colorful, vibrant, highly textural hand stitched pieces. Through her work she aims to catalogue the passage of time, and investigate the relationship between color and form by making the unseen seen with simple needle and thread.
