Les Chan - Textile Artist

 Les Chan's art combines the exacting craft of stitching with the frivolity of pun making. He uses his razor sharp sense of humour to create a title for a piece and then spends countless hours bringing the title to life with needle and thread. Les' piece, "Sex in the City" displays inverted legs above buildings in a city landscape.

His "Tea" series was developed using puns on the word tea, such as "KitTEA" in which Les creates a relationship between a cat and a teacup.

Even Les'  catch phrase,
       "Life is a STITCH . . . .  and then you BUY!",  is a pun!
