hagar vardimon: new glory needle portraits

‘new glory’ by happy red fish

amsterdam-based creative studio happy red fish has developed a series of black and white prints by altering them with needles, thread and ink. their latest project ‘new glory’ encompasses a variety of up-close portraits of women on a3 sized paper. influenced by moments and memories captured in time, the variations explore the different ways in which photography can be manipulated through stitching together pictures with vivid and colorful hexagonal-sewn shapes.
