Hinke Schreuders born in 1969 has been making small paintings or drawings on canvas with needle and thread since 2002. Using textiles and particularly free hand sewing she explores the 'field of tension between feminine role models, sexuality and pornography. Parallel to this her work is there to explore the vulnerability and identity confusion in general.
She uses carefully constructed compositions to evoke associations with more sinister undercurrents in a language that is prosaic (meaning commonplace or unromantic.) She draws her inspiration from both traditional Victorian samplers and modern pornographic websites. The idea about identity confusion is something I could take further with my project by looking at gender confusion and that could come into my project.
