Sandra Sawatzky is an artist on a mission, one tiny stitch at a time. Through her work she is transforming our perception of embroidery as an art form while drawing attention to the larger social, political, and environmental issues that affect us all.

Beneath the brightly coloured figures and meticulous stitching the 12 embroidered panels that comprise The Age of Uncertainty depict in great detail the overarching issues of our time – environmental degradation, debt, income inequality, (un)employment, artificial intelligence, science & technology, war, overpopulation, nuclear threat, resource scarcity, corruption, and surveillance.
