Artist Anna Keck stitches herself into her families history in a lovely way...blurring boundaries and softening the lines of reality.
Her techniques combine mono-printing and stitching...I use to mono print and have been playing with the idea of combining the printing process with my embroidery. So I am very inspired by Anna's work.
She states:
I’ve decided to imagine my own history by bringing photos of me into the collage. I’m not trying to rewrite to forget. I have very fond memories. I’m only trying to connect to a history that intrigues me, the past of my family. Sewing myself into my family’s memories makes me feel closer to them and connects me further.

From this image I have a feeling that I would love, love her studio and could lose a few hours there.
