Secrets…
Keeping a secret is very hard, but necessary, in the world of books, film and music, where non-disclosure agreements are the norm. I worked on a collaborative project with my husband, Corey Holms, and am thrilled to finally be able to show my work. This is an image created for the new Depeche Mode album, Sounds of the Universe. Corey was asked to remix the band’s logo, and his work, along with 13 other designers, will be available in the deluxe box set.
The image is actually taken from the negative space of the logo, and curved lines were created to fill in the space. I hand-embroidered the lines in floss onto a linen background, spending about 16 hours on the whole process. We then stretched the fabric and Corey took photos of the result. Photos taken on an angle showed a very cool shadow pattern, but they decided to use the straight on shot. We decided to add the needle in at the last minute, and I think it looks great!
The original logo can be seen here.
