Jen Stamps is a photographer who recreates her travels on embroidered photographs. Not only does she revisit the places she's been to, but she actually transforms the locations by stitching curious messages over the images. She also takes with her anonymous travelers from the past, and relocates them to lovely spots all over Europe. We talk about her embroidered photographs in this episode as we tour a seldom explored spot in Wonderland.
