Lionel Richie is a musical icon and artist Molly Evans proves nobody understands that better than her.
The Milwaukee-based artist pays tribute to the notorious musician with her latest series of works entitled 'Lionel Stitchie.' This collection features a line of discarded and beaten-down furniture on the streets of Milwaukee with popular Lionel lyrics stitched into them with braided yellow yarn. The vibrant braided yarn exhibits lyrics from Richie's hit single's such as 'Hello' and 'Dancing On The Ceiling.' Molly Evans has truly outdone herself and granted herself the fictional award of having the craziest tribute ever.
This collection is quirky, fun and definitely brings some of us back to days of dancing in the street all night long.
