Matthew Cox: X-Ray Stitches

Matthew Cox is a Philadelphia artist who works with embroidery and x-rays. What more needs to be said? The thing I love about embroidery art is that it is so simple in concept. You only need a needle and thread and something to put it on. It can be done practically anywhere. You could embroider in the bathtub if you felt like it.

Working with x-rays makes it a bit more complicated.
