Italian artist Maurizio Anzeri often uses embroidery threads to create large wig like sculptures, but its his mixed medium images that have really taken off. Anzeri minipulates found vintage photographs with needle work.
This strange mix has often been described as 'unnerving', but that and the way you want to create a back story for the characters is what makes his work so appealing.
