Lyrics of popular music inspire designs of music icons. Vibrant and metallic threads bring figures to life with poignant statements of the world around us.
This body of work is inspired by Marinas' past employment of Domestic Drudgery. “I want to break free” speaks of her determination to be a full time artist. Creativity, sewing and daily connections are critical to her well-being as she endeavours to hone her skills and produce these delightful works.
