Sheena Liam’s unique approach to embroidery art has captivated audiences worldwide. Her distinctive technique involves creating portraits of women and girls with thread tresses that cascade from the embroidery hoop, adding a dynamic three-dimensional aspect to her work. Liam’s artistry challenges the conventional boundaries of embroidery, as she allows some of the figures’ hair to extend beyond the frame, creating an effect that is both striking and delicate.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, often using black thread against a stark white canvas, which emphasizes the flowing hairstyles that have become her signature. Liam’s work is a testament to the versatility of thread as a medium and the innovative potential of traditional crafts in contemporary art.
