Bridge by Dorie Miller­son, I love the amaz­ing pho­to­graphic qual­ity of the bridge’s shadow! Here’s an out­line of her process from Daily Art Muse:

“Dorie Miller­son begins each piece by mak­ing a draw­ing inspired by an old fam­ily pho­tog­ra­phy. Next, the artist trans­fers her draw­ing to fab­ric and out­lines the image with stitches. But this is only the beginning–using the ancient tech­nique of needle­point lace, Miller­son uses cot­ton sewing thread to fill the inte­rior of the out­line with stitches that add depth, color and tex­ture to her subjects.

The final step in this process is to release the stitches from the fab­ric and sus­pend the piece to cre­ate large-scale shad­ows from the small-scale works. The result is magical.”
