Selfie craze is an inspiration for local artist

ARTWORK: From iPhone to art gallery...

THE ‘selfie’ is the inspiration for a new portrait exhibition, launched by a local artist.
Alison Saint, who works at Kingshurst Art Space, has used the ubiquitous images as the basis for an entire collection of work.
Using social media, Alison asked friends to send her random ‘selfies’ – for the uninitiated, that’s a photo you’ve taken of yourself, usually on a smart phone or digital camera.
She then started to turn the pictures of people’s faces into hand-sewn portraits.
A Stitch In Time will run at Solihull Arts Complex until June 9.
