Inge Jacobsen’s Stitched Photographs

25 Aug 2013 / 0 Comments / in Fun things in the Knitting World, Knitting/by Chic-a

Knitting can take you many places. It can be a therapeutic way to pass your time, a calming avenue for you to relax, or something you do to make gifts for others. And then it can also be a way to unleash your inner artist—a way to express your opinions creatively.

This is the case for Danish-Irish artist Inge Jacobsen, who uses her crafting skills (mainly embroidery, knitting, and needlework) to re-imagine photographs of women in the pages of magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, GQ, The Guardian, Vogue, Dazed & Confused, among others. She has been featured on and in Dazed Digital, Juxtapoz, Vogue.com, Telegraph.co.uk, DesignMilk, and many more publications.

“I use photographs because just as a photograph captures a moment in time—a split second. Each stitch captures the moments physically endured by the artist over the course of its creation,” Jacobsen explains. “It’s about using traditional methods but within a modern context.”

This is true, you can actually see the hard work in her art. Inspired by the antique tapestries she inherited from her grandmother, Jacobsen includes literally everything you see on the covers, including graphics, the model, and the background.

What’s she working on now? “I am currently working with photographer Rebecca Thomas and using a series of her images. I’m also experimenting with different type of stitch to create a paint like effect, with stitches that resemble brush strokes,” she says.

What about you? We would love to hear your stories of creatively in your knitting and crocheting!

How Chic-a Began

Chic-a was founded in 2007 by Joanna Reyes. Born out of an idea to create something practical, yet fun and colorful for knitting and crochet projects, Joanna designed and crafted the Quick Draw Project Bag. Responding to immediate popularity, Joanna continued to develop products to meet the growing demand, and out of this, Chic-a was born.

After 10 wonderful years in business and meeting countless amazing people who have helped make this venture possible, the Chic-a offices are closing their doors. Our products will no longer be manufactured, but you can still find some in retail stores. Click here to find one near you.
