Daniel Kornrumpf, an artist in Pennsylvania, created these amazingly detailed embroidered portraits. The subtle shading and color differences created by thousands of precisely placed threads make for convincing portraits, and though straight lines can provide structure, his work looks much more impressionist than stitched—definitely a modern twist on the traditional craft of embroidery. “The very fact of the portrait’s allusion to an individual human being, actually existing outside the work, defines the function of the art work in the world and constitutes the cause of its coming into being. This vital relationship between the portrait and its object of representation directly reflects the social dimension of human life as a field of action among persons, with its own repertoire of signals and messages.” -Richard Brilliant.
