Per Fhager | Soft Pixels [NX029]
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Per Fhager.
Per Fhager creates large-scale needlepoint works based on video game pixel graphics from the 80s and 90s, focusing on nostalgia and the happiness these games brought him. Per combines his love for video games with his passion for textile art, using uncommon techniques such as gobelin stitch and long stitch. He aims to capture the details and moments from these games and make them permanent through his needlework.
