Embroideries 1988–1997 is the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to Berend Strik's embroidered works from his formative decade.
Published to accompany exhibitions during this period, the catalogue examines Strik's distinctive technique — described by critics as the "pumping and penetrating needle" — which he uses to transform found and self-made photographs into layered, tactile artworks.
The publication traces the evolution of his practice from early family album interventions to his more elaborate stitched photographic works, situating his work within broader discussions of textile art, memory, and photographic meaning.
Scholarly texts analyze the cultural and artistic significance of his approach, while the rich visual documentation showcases the breadth of his output during this pivotal decade.
