Maurizio Anzeri.

Maurizio Anzeri is an Italian-born artist. He made a series of different stitched photographs. He would buy portrait photographs at flea markets and use them to stitch patterns onto. From researching Anzeri I decided to take my own photos using my ipod and developing them in the dark room with a process called iphoneography. After getting a series of photos printed I started to stitch into a self portrait. I used shapes and patterns from Anzeri's pieces. Anzeri uses and stitches on these photos as it is a landscape.
 These are some of his work which I found in one of the craft magazine in college.
My favourite is Marianna, 17.8x24.3cm (the third photo down), this is because I like how the pattern is shown. The circle has made the thread look interesting and it is hard to understand what the photo is underneath. I also like how just the eye is shown. The block looking stitch has made it interesting as it has added colour to the photo and made it more inetersting to look at. I like he has limited the colours to three. Looking at black most then adding red and yellow.
