The artist and activist Diana Weymar has created the project “Tiny Pricks” which consists of a series of hand-embroidered pieces that recite the most famous, outrageous and sometimes funny phrases of President Trump found on Twitter. It all started as a game, on January 8, 2018, when he sewed “I am a very stable genius” into an abandoned piece of his grandmother’s cloth from the ’60s, which immediately became an immediate success after being published on Instagram.
The artist opened his idea to a community of sewing enthusiasts, who have since contributed amazingly embroidered fabrics. The project is then open to the public and their participation. It has evolved into the biggest ever protest –
The diffusion has become more and more difficult to follow but Weymar plans to continue the series until Donald Trump’s mandate expires. It aims to create 2020 “Tiny Pricks” by 2020.
We find all the pieces on display at Lingua Franca in New York City but only those created by Diana can be purchased.
