Interview with the Gladstone Hotel

Embroidering the Prime Minister

This year’s Hard Twist Exhibition is the eleventh annual edition of the Gladstone Hotel’s group fibre art show. Jen Wilson is one of the participating artists, who puts her own spin on portraiture using psychedelic embroidered patterns, transforming familiar faces into eye-popping mazes of colour and line. We interviewed the artist about her art practice, her love of graffiti, and her appreciation of both Justin Bieber and Justin Trudeau.
