While it’s not cross stitch in the traditional sense, this art installation from Ana Martins, aka Aheneah, is a fantastic homage to cross stitch worked in yarn and screws.
The project, called Switch-Over, represents the carefree attitude of students at the school near this wall located in the artist’s hometown of Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal.
She says on her Instagram post about the project:
Every day, for many years, thousands of kids pass by this wall while going from home to school and from school to home. Most of the time just floating in their thoughts, lost in space, time and routine. Until their paths have to change directions. This happened to me a few years ago.
The piece uses more than 2,300 screws and 700 yards of yarn. Pretty amazing.
