Style Emulation - Matt Siber

Artist Matt Siber is interested in the ways in which we communicate as a culture within public space. He is challenging the powers of persuasion and influence exerted upon large groups of people through advertising, news media, branding and propaganda. His work ‘seeks to investigate the methods and underpinnings of these systems of communication in an effort to understand them better’.

I will be attempting to emulate one of Siber's images from his 'The Untitled Project'. In this project Matt explores issues of communication in public space. He does this by separating the text from the visual photograph.

I planned out my design first so I knew how to layout my embroidery design on the fabric.

This is my take on Matt Sibers work. 

This is the original design (below), which I photoshopped to remove the text from the visual design using the stamp tool.
