Stitch Fetish, explores art of the stitch (a rite unto itself), revealing the fetishized secrets lurking in the minds of the artists. Stitched works of erotica and titillation, dark fantasy and longing, of secrets never told, but long desired and works exploring sexuality, gender, and the intersection where the two find a happy (and often kinky) home is Stitch Fetish.
