i’m jealous of joanne arnett

Mugshots. Woven mugshots. Elaborate, meticulous, and absolutely stunning woven mugshots. LOVE!!! This is the work of American artistĀ Joanne Arnett, and I am completely smitten. She’s still in the process of setting up her website, but I couldn’t control myself… I had to write about these NOW!!! So here’s how she does it – she weaves large scale portraits with wire so the face is visible when light bounces off it. The images shift, like a giant daguerreotype from positive to negative depending on where the viewer stands, or sometimes they completely disappear into the plane of fabric. I need to see these in person. A lot.

    Love your blog! I am a photographer and coming out with my first photography book on my 10 years photographing an American one ring circus. I shoot analog…I know old school! Want to keep in touch!

    Again…a million thanks!

    I love how she made the weave look like a faulty scan or color copy. The detail is simply smart — reproducing the flaws of mass-production as evidence of attention to detail and care.
