“The blue tapestries refer to nature as a healer and draws you into a state of
calmness mimicking water surfaces. I want to evokes the feeling of looking at
moving water reflecting light.”
“The tapestries serve as personal confessions of a repetitive everyday life, filled with
monotonous days and nights while providing for two young children. For me they represent
the experience of motherhood as a practicing maker and the effort behind the repetition of
maternal duties and them of artistic creation. I like many women before me made a choice
to work with textiles as an easily accessible medium and tool of expression within my home
environment. Each sequin of the embroidery is meticulously cut out of wood, hand-formed,
painted with linseed oil-based colors in various tones of blues, and stitched onto linen
fabric.”
