Michael Raedecker's work really interests me. At first one just sees this as another painting, one in white washed colours - slowly fading into the background. However, it is when you get close to the work, you are able to see that he has stitched into sections of the piece, most of the poles and lights are made up out of thread which he has embroider in. It is interesting to see a male using embroidery within his work as it is often seen as a womans art, most of the connotations of seeing connect to women. This piece is really enlightening and I want to experiment in a similar style to this. The water colour piece which I produced you could daily see the stitch, but if I as to use oil paint and on a larger scale I may being able to confuse the viewer into what they were seeing and hopefully produce a fascinating composition.
