The Classicist

This is the main tumblog of Silvie Kilgallon. I'm a conceptual artist and my work is largely influenced by my academic interests in classics, ancient history, translation, and philosophy of language. This blog details conceptual, casual and personal projects on which I am currently working. To see the Stitched Iliad project, please check out the Stitched Iliad blog below.

Porcelain, Thread, Woven Wheel Stitch. The Green Wheel Is So Much Better Than The Other Two. Guess It

Porcelain, thread, woven wheel stitch. The green wheel is so much better than the other two. Guess it took me three attempts to get the tension right for sewing on porcelain. This mask actually broke when I was sewing, and I glued it back together. It's a clean break/join but still visible and I'm starting to think I should have just left it broken.
