Using needle and thread, Berend Strik (1960) adds a tactile layer to the photographs he takes. In this Art Room we present the newest work by the non-conformist artist, who has adopted the medium of textile, a craftsmanship that has traditionally been associated with women. An artist who embroiders flowers onto cloth, dots stitches into studio portraits and keeps an intimately personal journal of spirited and associative coloured pencil drawings.
