Artist Sophia Narrett literally spins a yarn by creating rich narratives made purely out of thread. Each piece is ornately detailed and resemble paintings at first glance, and in contrast to the picture perfect, homely embroideries we’re accustomed to, Narrett’s images hide strange, dark tales that perplex even as they enthrall.
