Sandrine Pelletier, adds a whimsical twist to her subject matter. She is a 29 year old graphic designer and visual artist lives and works between Lausanne, Switzerland and Paris, France. She graduated from the Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne (ECAL).
It is not simple coincidence that Pelletiers work explores illistartion and the juxtaposition of archaic media usage and the subject matter being of cultural post-modernity. She was an ex-heavy metal fan and handles her medium of embroidery and crochet perfectly still allowing her music influence to shown through inparts. "Will fight for a dream", is one of her most famous projects and is a sociological coverage about Tribal/gang Violence and street culture in England, where she was previously living for some time. It is a series of embroideries depicting young people from a 'council estate' background, organizing events such as wrestling matches from their parents backyard. All her works have an embedded poignat twist or messgae which she wanta to convey to the reader, when on a glnace her work appears very nice and pleasent, it is only when you look twice you see the hidden detail. I particualty like her style, similary wiht Bowley combining stitching wiht mixed media.
