Art and Thread. A photography and embroidery exhibition using the Eretz Israel costume collection

by Vangelis Kyris

The Eretz Israel traditional Jewish (and a few Palestinian) costume collection from all over the world was photographed on 80 models by Kyris an Athens photographer. It was printed on cotton which meant many of the photographs had sumptuous embroidery as well. All the models had smokey eye make-up! Ruty and I loved this exhibition and enjoyed different bits and challenged each other as we often do!
