3D Printed Cross Stitch critically examines whether and how traditional, analogue textile techniques should or could be reinterpreted and digitalised.

The artist combines regional patterns and craft techniques, that are passed on from generation to generation with pride and appreciation, with new technologies, in this case 3D printing.

The artwork was created within the project “Analog-Digital: Medium-Message”.
