Rothko @ The Guggenheim

ART WE FELT | A little art history, a little parody, and a whole lot of craftsmanship.

Art We Felt is an ongoing series that recreates iconic exhibition posters as detailed needle-felted and embroidered textiles. Each piece is entirely handmade, blending meticulous technique with playful subversion.

We begin by hand-dyeing Australian wool, and working in collaboration with embroidery artist Meeraj Bhai, we transform mass-produced imagery into tactile, sacred objects. 

The series raises questions around homage, appropriation, and authorship—especially as it reimagines masculine-coded museum posters through traditionally feminized fiber art. By doing so, Art We Felt challenges the boundary between fine art and craft, and insists: some art is too good not to be felt.
