A Bird Trusts its Wings Character Patches

Inspired by the storybook written by Deviate's Creative Director called A Bird Trusts its Wings, Detroit-based artist Elise Martin hand-embroidered and tufted her interpretation of the main characters. Each patch is one of one.

Elise Marie Martin is an interdisciplinary artist based in Detroit, MI, USA. She seeks to make work which encourages engagement and interaction, while questioning our relationship with objects. Martin received her BFA from the College for Creative Studies, and her MFA from Wayne State University. Her studio practice is complemented by her work in art education and art-based community programs.
