Embroidered Composition Notebooks by Candace Hicks

Candace Hicks works primarily with fabric arts, notably embroidery on canvas. Her use of this long-established medium is highly innovative as we see in her faux composition notebooks.

They're not static images. You (or, better, a museum curator) can open them to reveal personal journals in fabric form.

The embroidered composition notebook is Hicks's primary use of this medium, but she can warp this form in radical ways, such as a composition notebook made to resemble a remarkably lifelike human vulva. But what I've instead chosen to include above is a piece titled Notes on String Theory which twists time and space.

You can see more of Hicks's work on Instagram.

Can I admit something here? These name suggestions are hilarious! And they suggest uses for my concepts that never occurred to me. My elephant trunk "feature" was an attempt to suggest that the shockingly cold air in snow country might be pre-warmed by the armpit. I had failed to imagine that the trunk could facilitate armpit sniffing, presumably a useful tactic for certain social situation.

As with your normal Museum illustrations, I try to envision what things you'd invent to compliment this with. Armpit sniffing goes great with foot sniffing? Maybe some sort of far out Dutch Oven Scarf?
