In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Aaron Fein.

Aaron Fein is a mixed media sculptor whose work plays with perceptions, both luminant and psychosocial.

This is the second part of our NeedleXChange in which we discuss how Aaron's work has evolved since the White Flags project, how he began dying fabrics and threads, we nerd out about scaffolding for a bit and we explore Aaron's cultural touchpoints.

If you enjoy the show, please share it with anyone you know with a sewing machine - it might just broaden their horizons!
