Using a vibrant array of real flowers and foliage, North Yorkshire-based artist Olga Prinku <\/a>(previously<\/a>) designs intricate embroideries that explode with natural colors and textures. The artist embraces experimentation at a large scale, challenging the traditionally more intimate surfaces of embroidery.<\/p>\n

In addition to blooms and leaves, Prinku has recently focused on branches in a new series called Graft<\/em>. Using primarily silver birch, she describes the works as “a reference to the horticultural process of transferring twigs from one setting to another but also a nod to the slang meaning of ‘hard work’\u2014it takes a lot of time and patience!”<\/p>\n

Prinku’s embroideries are currently on view in a group exhibition at Contemporary Applied Arts<\/a> in London through November 18, and a piece selected for the SCAF Emerging Artist Award is on view until January at Lawrence Batley Theatre Gallery<\/a>. She is currently working toward a major exhibition for Hidcote<\/a> in the Cotswolds next year. Find more on her website<\/a>, and follow her on Instagram<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n
