Abstract embroidery study pieces

abstract embroidery study piece black stitching sampler

Welcome to my embroidery lab !
Here is a small selection of the embroidery study pieces I regularly make, to explore various textile techniques, and potential of stitches.

They become part of a kind of catalogue or stitches grammar for further art pieces.

Would you be able to find in which artworks any of these embroidery samples are finally used as inspiration ?
