Calaverita celebrates diversity through traditional Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) iconography and masterful textile art. Its creators embroider technical excellence with a wink of social irony. “We are Chiachio & Giannone, an artist who has two heads and four hands,” say Leo Chiachio and Daniel Giannone of their partnership in life and art. “Our academic knowledge is in painting but since 2003, when we met . . . , we began to change the brushes, oils and acrylics for the needles, threads and scissors.” Together they are blurring the lines between artist and artisan, fine art and craftsmanship. Pride comes in all colors, textures, cultures, and forms; delight in the hand-stitched complexities as you assemble this 1000-piece puzzle.
