I’m not sure why, I think it’s my intense jealousy of anyone that can start and finish a large photo based stitch (yes I’m looking at YOU ninja ;) ). I know I’ve designed a ton of patterns of this form of stitch, started a couple, but never finished!

So when I saw this piece by Noelle Mason I was literally awestruck.

This piece is called ‘Nothing Much Happened Today (for Eric and Dylan)’ and yes, it is a security camera image of the Columbine High School shooting.  It was completed this year and measures 50×66 inches.

It’s astounding, both in subject matter and in production.  Noelle offers no explanation on her site as to why she did this piece.  And I think this is probably a wise move.  But it is quite obviously a respectful acknowledgement of what was clearly a very difficult time for all directly involved, as well as the wider community.

This piece is just one part of an extensive body of work and I urge you to check out Noelle’s website and look through the incredibly thought-provoking work.

Props: Mr X Stitch
