I Heart Your Work Art Futures is an artwork production platform that gives forward-thinking collectors and art lovers a unique opportunity to support the creative process of high-calibre artists, both emerging and established . Unlike the traditional art market, I Heart Your Work Art Futures do not go into production until a limited edition series is pre-sold.

For her Art Futures project, Ehryn Torrell will create a textile painting made entirely of embroidery, pushing her practice by removing the digitally printed image. In collaboration with Andrew Kenny, Torrell will produce 10 digitally embroidered wall works based on a montage she created with the June 2019 collector’s edition of Harper’s Bazaar. The issue was selected because it was made to commemorate Lee Krasner’s ground-breaking exhibition at The Barbican, where many of her works were shown for the first time in the UK. The exhibition featured an important work for Torrell, which is Krasner’s 1976 collage painting Imperative. This work is composed with cut up drawings that Krasner made during her student days under the tutelage of Hans Hofmann. The oppressive patriarchal memories of this time in Krasner’s life no longer served her, so she transformed them by putting them into the splicer of her art. Linking this liberating and inventive period in Krasner’s practice to her own methods, Torrell created a montage with the collector’s edition Harper’s Bazaar. This Art Furtures’ project is titled Collectors’ Edition, which like all of Torrell’s textile paintings, refers to text on the magazine’s front page. It will be digitally embroidered with up to 15 thread colours to create an image that brings montage, collaboration and textile methods to inventive new heights.
