Montréal artist Andrea Vander Kooij specialises in whimsy and delicate fibre art. Probably most known for "nailing" a fabric depiction of Ms Britney Spears back in 2001... she continues to create beautifully embroidered works of art on vintage fabrics and linens. Her mediums are not conventional by any means, but what makes her art so extraordinary is her eloquent and double-edged take on things of everyday life... a simple saying, flora and fauna, human interaction, or the revealing images of the skeletal structure of cutesy animals. A contemporary twist on vintage material... très unique and chic.
