Embroidery Art By Adipocere

Adipocere is the nick name of Australian artist John who has been interested in embroidery art since 2014. He generally uses sheep, skulls and spider webs in his hand embroidery. His works generally explore the dark, macabre and symbolism. Adipocere’s art works have been presented in many galleries in Australia and America.

He refers many of his works as emotional self-portraiture. He usually uses natural materials for his embroidery art but he has also used human skin especially the palm of his hand. The fascinating embroidery artist says that at least 60 people have tattooed his dark embroidery onto their own skin.
