Francesco Vezzoli is best known for his use of needlework in portraits of celebrities which are simultaneously beautiful and disturbing. He has an obsession with high and low culture – he draws inspiration especially from cinema and advertising, themes which are not normally associated with needlework and embroidery. I took inspiration from Vezzoli's juxtaposition of traditional media and modern themes.
