Sheehy is an artist from London, Engalnd who creates beautiful mixed
media works composed mostly of embroidery and beadwork. She has no
formal training in the art of embroidery, but was drawn to use thread
because of the great range of colors available. The emotional qualities
and charges of
each color are important to Sheehy, as her works are celebrations
of love, color, and pattern. She began making this work as a way of
creating love tokens for her husband, and since that time her inspirations
have multiplied. Never planning a piece before starting, Sheehy likes
to lose herself in the process of making until each piece is finished.
Of her work, Randall Morris says, "Sheehy's work is explosive
in its orchid-like voluptuousness. It occupies two planes of vision
in that one can look at these obsessively stitched, beaded, and drawn
constructions from a distance and close-up and get differnt readings.
The message is a very personal and deep, resounding universe that
doesn't quite throttle itself on its own details but sends a message
of rough, intricate beauty." |
