Alexis Sugden is an artist in Vancouver. I’m using “artist” as a brief summary of her extraordinary body of work across multiple media, some of which you’d never expect to see together. Her Etsy shop includes a lot of embroidery, comic books, laser cuts, and paintings. It is, of course, this piece that grabbed my initial attention.

Yes, it’s a dancing bat dressed for business. Sugden created this animation sequence by embroidering each frame, then photographing them in sequence.

Sugden has a fascination with bats. Her profile picture, which shows a bat operating a human-appearing robot, reflects a childhood story about how she identified herself to other kids.
