Cheeky Collage

Blair Martin Cahill uses thread as a bridge between art and emotion, weaving connections that feel as tangible as they are profound. Her embroidery transforms thread into delicate lines and textures, each stitch infused with intention and care. Through her work, thread becomes more than a medium; it becomes a storyteller, conveying feelings that words often cannot. Her stitches reveal a deep empathy and understanding, inviting viewers to engage not only with the visual beauty of her pieces but also with the emotions that they evoke. In Cahill's hands, thread serves as a link between artist and observer, creating a shared experience that resonates beyond the surface of the fabric. Blair Martin Cahill obtained her BFA from California Institute of the Arts and then attended the University of Arts London, Chelsea for her MA in Fine Art. She recently held a solo show at Atlantic Gallery in New York City, has shown in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition twice and is a prize winner for the 2024 Hand and Lock Prize.
