In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Melissa Zexter.

Melissa Zexter is a Brooklyn-based artist whose embroidered photographs explore memory and meaning. This is the second part of our NeedleXChange and we explore tips for stitching on paper, embracing mistakes and we explore Melissa's cultural favourites. Plus, we get a bit spooky, but I've said too much!.

If you like Melissa's art, you'll love my NeedleXChange with Diane Meyer.
