UK artist Sally Hewett uses the art of embroidery to explore cultural conceptions and conventions of beauty and ugliness in relation to the human body. "I am interested in how we see things," says Hewett, "how we interpret what we see and how the connotations of needlework and embroidery as a medium affect how the content is seen - is it seen as ugly, beautiful, or funny?"
