Love While You Can #01

This work is part of Lyuda Kalinichenko’s series Stitch / Sound / Stitch, in which machine embroidery is connected with sound, rhythm and bodily movement.

The work is made on recycled paper created from the artist’s own sketches and diary pages, combined with advertising leaflets delivered through the letterbox. In this material, the intimate and the public come together: private notes and personal traces are mixed with the everyday printed matter that enters thousands of homes.

The embroidery is made on a sewing machine through an intuitive, almost automatic movement. In this project, the artist often connects the sewing machine with synthesizers, combining the processes of stitching, playing and producing sound. She sees many similarities between them: rhythm, speed, repetition, the movement of the body and the physical presence of sound.

“These processes have no natural ending. Only you decide when to stop, when to interrupt them. In this sense, they are like a Möbius strip.”

Here, the stitch becomes both a visual mark and a trace of time — fragile, repetitive and physical.
