Heather L. Johnson

Heather L. Johnson is an artist associated with the Christina Ray gallery in New York, which focuses on psychogeographic art. Johnson uses graphite and embroidery as her main media, investigations "movement, memory, identity and distance."

Her beautifully intricate embroidery looks at the inner workings of the city, such as mechanical systems and steam pipes. Recently, her work was the subject of an exhibit, Erasure, in which she reconstructed the site of an old mental asylum through drawings and embroidery. 

Johnson also recently created an embroidered logo for WIRED, showing the front and the back of the logo, which relates to the concepts presented in the Open Source Embroidery project, relating Code to Embroidery. See the images below, from the Christina Ray blog
