Japanese-Brazilian artist Mayumi Ito’s cartoon-like drawing of figures that appear to be miming “See no evil. Speak no evil. Hear no evil,” provides an untraditional subject for the age-old technique of embroidery. NUNO machine-embroidered the
design in cotton cord on sheer translucent polyester, thus giving it that revealing suké suké quality.
