Lionel Richie + Crafty Lady = “Lionel Stitchie”

by Brenda Pitt

 

The Milwaukee artist Molly Evans was inspired by discarded furniture around her neighborhood, viewing each lumpy mattress as a relic of recent graduates, new families, and people moving on. To ad a little warmth to the remains of apartments and days forgotten, Molly adorned them with love ballads… literally. Stitching Lionel Richie’s lyrics across all the tossed-out furniture she could find, she created “Lionel Stitchie,” a straw-colored homage to the legendary singer and to the residents of her neighborhood, as they travel wherever life may lead them.
