In her series of urban needlepoint studies, ROYAL ASKS VIEWERS TO
RE-examine our ideas surrounding both graffiti and folk art as
mediums. form & concept is delighted to announce the return of
needlepoint artist Jacquelyn Royal in her first solo show at the
gallery, following two group exhibitions in 2018 and 2019.
In her series of urban needlepoint studies, Royal asks viewers to
re-examine our ideas surrounding both graffiti and folk art as
mediums. Royal, working from a high-resolution image of a cityscape,
captures sunworn advertisements, years of graffiti layers and urban
decay in hand-dyed yarn (sometimes using up to fifteen different
shades of white to perfectly capture a sky).
Jacquelyn Royal’s textile work has been exhibited and published
internationally. Recent exhibitions include the Textile Biennial in
the Netherlands; Thread at Rheged Cultural Center in Cumbria, UK; and
Hand / Eye at form & concept in Santa Fe, NM, among others. She
currently lives and works as a professor of humanities in Saratoga
Springs, NY.
