Alighiero Boetti, "Tutto" 1990,
Embroidery on Linen, 86 1/2 x 170 1/4 in. (219.7 x 432.4 cm.)
In the spring of 1971, while in search of “something distant”, Alighiero Boetti discovered Afghanistan. This was the beginning of a relationship that tied the man and his work to the Afghan people for 23 years until the artist’s death in 1994.
Boetti maintained these links during the period of exile following the Soviet invasion of 1979, even welcoming some of his assistants into his own family in Italy.
Afghanistan is the scene of the production of many of Alighiero Boetti’s best-known works, including the Mappe (1971-1994), made by female Afghan embroiderers.
His artistic intentions, his experience of the country and his intellectual curiosity give rise to works that act as cultural and geopolitical seismographs.
His work bears witness to the socio-political transformations that affected the Middle East in the 1970s and 1980s, seeing, for example, the embroiderers flee to Peshawar in Pakistan, where some of the last embroideries were produced.

So, yeah it is late but here is my stitching round up for 2023. I am thinking about blazing this... but I will say I used to blaze EVERY finished piece, so Tumbler has lost out on that money this year. All because they need to upgrade the accessibility of the site.
The cover of Mockingbird #8 I started this while my husband was in chemo in 2018, I put it down when he passed.
