ARTIST STATEMENT

I like to break the rules of needlework, tearing and burning my fabric and sometimes leaving pieces unfinished. I also love nostalgia. People who came of age in the 1970s & '80s will recognize artifacts from that era: the AOL dial-up screen, pink telephone message pads, and a Blockbuster video membership card to name a few. I also incorporate beads, buttons, needles, and humor into my work.

BIO

Kevin Lustik

 

Born and raised in Joliet, Illinois, now living in New York City, Kevin Lustik has been sewing for almost 40 years.  He started by creating quilts, moved on to needlepoint kits, then finally created his own original designs. Kevin Lustik has exhibited around New York City at the Leslie-Lohman Project Space, ChaShaMa, The Garment District Alliance, Port Authority Bus Terminal, and upcoming in 2023, the Jadite Gallery.  His stitchery has been featured on CBS News and the FubbleTime interview show (see YouTube) and in the publications W42ST and Velvetpark.  But the best place to see his work is on Instagram or Facebook at LustikArt.
