Tumble and Bloom<\/em> explores expressions of modern masculine and gender non-conforming performativity through the traditional medium of embroidery. Levi both celebrates and challenges the association of \u201cwomen\u2019s work\u201d with thread-based craft, creating meticulously sewn portraits of queer bodies, as in the series #100tumblrbearscantbewrong. Using botanical motifs in her colorful flower beards, Levi playfully subverts gender signifiers, such as facial and body hair, and embraces multifaceted, shifting, and emerging identities.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Levi<\/a> is a NYC born and based artist. Her work has appeared in Queer Threads<\/em>, which originated at the Leslie-Lohman Museum before traveling to other venues, and Stitch Fetish<\/em> at The Hive Gallery in Los Angeles.
