An embroidery “painting,” beautifully executed, done with detailed and elegant technique, of a brash, cool and vivid image.<\/strong><\/div>\n

There is something callow and shocking in the expression of the figure in Daniel Kornrumpf’s Austin, Texas<\/em>. I was taken in by it, but more by the wonderful, subtle execution of the offbeat image. This is, interestingly, a smallish embroidery (how cool!) positioned in the middle of a large white background. The care with which the work is done is most evident: in particular, the elements of hair and lips are beautifully modeled. <\/p>\n

The reflection of the name “Austin, Texas” in the figure’s sunglasses is striking, witty and a bit showbizzy. And, even though it would seem to be a reflection, it could not be, because we do not see it in reverse. Aha! So what is it? The funny and impudent gaze of the figure, with slightly parted lips, both takes us in and pushes us away, as though she wants to explain that apparent illusion to us, but is enjoying our puzzlement too much to do so. <\/p>\n

I thought that the positioning of the small image in the middle of the big field might have some symbolic reference to Austin’s position in Texas and to the thought that it is a kind of island in a big, blank space. The artist suggests that the motivation comes from the idea that the image which inspired the work came from the internet, a big and indeterminate landscape all its own. <\/p>\n

Austin is the capital of Texas. It was settled in 1830 and was originally named Waterloo. The main campus of the University of Texas is in Austin, as are the headquarters of Whole Foods Market and Dell Computer. It is informally known as The Live Music Capital of the World<\/em>. In recent years, many Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan Keep Austin Weird<\/em>.
