Inge Jacobsen uses embroidery, thread & weaving to ‘hijack’ images

“It’s about using traditional methods but within a modern context”

 

Jacobsen takes mass produced images, like magazines and adverts and gives them a unique makeover. She stitches, embroiders, cuts and collages to transform her subjects, a process that Jacobsen refers to as ‘hijacking’.
