Stephen Wilson
Dior Metallic Rose
Stephen is anything but traditional. The medium used for his pieces is predominantly fabric and thread, combined with sculptural 3D printing, laser engraving, and painting. When you examine one of his pieces closely you will notice that each line and element is created with thread on top of luxurious fabrics.
Stephen Wilson uses sustainable materials to create unique and everlasting designs. Each art piece begins with an upcycled luxury bag, box, silk scarf, or handbag. Wilson then digitizes a custom embroidery design by hand, layering in each stitch individually.
Once the design, colors, and elements are decided, the piece moves on to assembly. The boxes and bags are deconstructed, becoming the canvas for his creations. The embroidery then goes directly through his chosen medium and the visible texture begins to bring the piece to life. Appliqués, patches and butterflies are all stitched out individually. They are then cut, cleaned, and placed on each piece, creating a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art.
