This is not your grandmother’s needlework.
This is large scale translucent tapestry made with craft yarn on an open weave that’s as big as the trees.
This is Kris Campbell Art.

I create meaningful visual experiences that connect to the soul, time, space and celebrate the awesomeness of the universe. I take a delicate, precise craft and using yarn on screen assemble large works that fill up space, demanding to be seen. The consistent cross stitch throughout creates a smooth surface that highlights the color variation, evoking waves of light and molecular energy. In some places the screen is left bare, allowing for a space beyond the surface of the work, imagining the way a soul searches beyond the skin’s surface.

Color, Surface and Soul are ideas that thread throughout in the work.

#iamCOLOR series being created as a response to lockdown during COVID. The series, of outdoor work 11 foot square cross stitch tapestries of flowers – each celebrating a different color. VOCE/VOICES was the first time the series will be seen as intended – as a group to be experienced outside by walking up to, walking around and taking pictures with the pieces.
