Tita Tuesday – Tsurubride
It’s not as egocentric as it sounds…
On my last trip to NYC, I finally got to meet Tsurufoto‘s lovely wife Meghan a.k.a. Tsurubride. Our meeting was a long time in the making. Tsuru had told me many stories about his Canuck counterpart, and additionally, I had seen her beautiful work on the Internet. I soon discovered she’s even more rad in person – and she likes cupcakes š
Here is a selection of Questions and Answers, taken from the fantastic interview conducted by Erotic Art Lover.
Talking to artistā¦: Meghan Willis
Posted on December 1, 2012 by admin
Meghan Willis is a female textile artist who builds and extends the long and well-established embroidery craft tradition with innovative techniques and unusual content. Rather than twee little floral compositions or flat geometric patterns Willis works with different kinds of textures and shading and she is intent on giving her 2D designs a 3D feel.

Her highly unconventional (in embroidery terms) designs of ladies in various stages of undress are fun and humous but also beautiful and delicate. It is particularly interesting to see the tranformation from idea to finished embroidery in a piece like āCherry Lounging on a Setteeā (Check out the Pdf to see this piece).

Where do you find inspiration for your work?
Meghan Willis:
All over! Number one source is probably my husbandās (Aaron Tsuru) photography (tsurufoto.com). I also love to search tumblr for images that spark something. Museums, books, friends, etc.

Meghan Willis:
A couple different ways. Sometimes Iāll take one of Aaronās photos directly and use that as a template. Or Iāll put together a collage of images that I find inspiring (for poses, colors, etc.) and then either have him shoot something specific for me, or Iāll shoot something specific. I donāt have a conventional sketch book anymore.

How do you relax?
Meghan Willis:
Conveniently enough, I find embroidering really relaxing. Also, reading, hanging with my love, going for walks, scrolling on the interwebs, haha!
