Coded Threads: Translating Shakespeare Into Material Form, a Talk by Artist Suzanne Coley - WOUB Public Media
Suzanne Coley is a book artist, printmaker, and writer whose work engages textile art, printmaking, and embroidered bindings as forms of literary interpretation. Through a signature process she defines as Material Excavation, she recomposes fabric through stitching, layering, and formal transformation, treating material process as a rigorous method of reading Shakespeare’s sonnets. Her bespoke textile books translate the structural complexity of the sonnets into tactile, page-based narratives.
