And You Shook Me | Niki McDonald
Needlepoint Tapestry
Height: 54cm. Width: 74cm.
These retro needlepoint tapestries, overstitched with AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" lyrics, juxtapose idealistic imagery of Pink Lady and Blue Boy with gritty rock elements. This recontextualization challenges traditional notions of refinement, infusing a rebellious spirit and raw energy into classic elegance.
My work explores the gritty pub rock culture of 1970s and 1980s Australia, merging tranquil needlepoint vistas with raw pub rock lyrics. This fusion navigates the complex interplay of cultural narratives, juxtaposing idealism, and the unvarnished realism of working-class life.
