Elaine Reichek transposes classical paintings into embroidered works. She first scans the reproductions of the paintings and runs the scans through software that maps them as coded embroidery charts. Of primary interest in this small portfolio is "The Tower of Babel" embroidered on linen after a painting by Pieter Bruegel. Also featured are embroideries based on the works of Samuel Morse, painter and inventor of the telegraph and the Morse code. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
