The artist that inspires me the most I found was one that calls herself "Threadstories." She is from Ireland and works to make pieces out of yarn and sometimes other textiles. Her creations are colorful, abstract pieces that cover most of the face. Her instagram is www.instagram.com/threadstories/?hl=en Her work is the main reason I had chosen her, but as I read more into detail on what her pieces were supposed to represent I fell in love with that, too. First off, her head pieces really grab your attention as soon as you have seen them because of their uncommon shape and vibrant colors. They are very creative and unlike I had ever seen before. If I had not saw what she did, I wouldn't of ever thought that this type of art was a thing. Also, her pieces actually have a deeper meaning other than of that just to be visually pleasing. Threadstories claims that her artwork is meant to "deny the viewer of the full story of who the sitter is, echoing the curated or false personas we portray and view online daily." She also says "the masks are mutations of our private and public selves." I believe that not only is her art amazing but so is her reason on making it; not a lot of people actually do anything to break down the expectations that are set for people by the internet.
