Laura O’Connor of Blue Bottom Art is a Grayslake based fiber artist who specializes in embroidered hoop art. Her work covers a wide range from feminism to fashion. She likes the balance of custom and modernity that can be found in fiber arts. Fiber arts have a rich history of beauty but also subversion. She uses her unique embroidery designs to continue this tradition. Many of her embroideries are part of the Tiny Pricks Project which is a public art project creating a material record of the politics of the past few years to counterbalance the impermanence of social media.
