Trained as a painter, Reichek first began using thread in her canvases as a way of drawing. “I wasn’t conscious of this as embroidery until I saw what I had been making,” she says. Since the 1970s, she has been dismantling the barriers between craft forms and high art, allowing them to cross-pollinate, with conceptually rich results. The artist uses digital embroidery, beading, tapestry, and other techniques, often quoting images directly from art history and texts from both literature and documentary sources.
