Show Notes

It's the school summer holidays and I'm taking a break. So instead of new chats, I'm replaying some of my old favourites!

This is a repeat of episode #63.

In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Peter Frederiksen.

Peter Frederiksen is a Chicago-based artist whose machine embroidered cartoon vignettes are filled with tension and dark humour. In this first part of our NeedleXChange we talk about how this particular combination of form and content has become Peter's signature style and how he shines a light on a culture we take for granted.

If you like machine embroidery, then be sure to check out Julie Heaton's episode.
