Stephen Wilson's process consists of utilizing what some would view as disposable materials. He takes the scraps and restores them to their once luxurious status by making them into art.  Each art piece begins with an up-cycled luxury bag, box, silk scarf or handbag. He then digitizes a custom embroidery design by hand, layering in each stitch individually. The boxes and bags are deconstructed, becoming the canvas for his creations. The embroidery then goes directly through his chosen medium and the visible texture begins to bring the piece to life.  5x5x2 inches Framed in acrylic
