Dimensions Variable

This multidimensional project included a text and telephone hotline for parents of young children to share in the high and low moments of parenting. Stainman then translated those stories collected from that hotline into embroidery patterns and used light and dark colors to convey the emotional content.

Throughout the exhibition period, Stainman continued to embroider the large-scale works. The installation shots show the embroidery just after the exhibition opened and last two images show the end result.
