In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Diane Meyer.

Diane Meyer is an embroidery artist whose cross stitched work obfuscates the present to explore the past. She cross stitches on photographic images of places and people, obscuring parts of them to reveal presentations of the past with precision and perplexity.

This is the second part of our NeedleXChange where we find out how about Diane's forthcoming exhibition and how she revisits older work. We talk about her affection for Berlin and we hit her cultural touchpoints as usual. Be sure to check out Diane's work using the links below!
