FUSION of

drawing and embroidery

With this body of work, I am forming a dialogue between two very different crafts. By portraying either a specific emotion or intention, I am setting a common stage, which allows each craft to stand on its own, while complimenting the other.

The idea for this project was sparked by my newly discovered love for embroidery and the good fortune of stumbling over a box of vintage and unfinished needlepoints (Gobelin), which have been waiting for patient hands to come along.

CONCLUSION

This body of work symbolizes the process of change through exploration.

It allows me to look beyond my own horizon and recognize the tight boundaries I have set for myself and my creativity. 

By relieving myself of fearfulness and stagnation, I am able to open up to change and to gain a new, yet still unrevealed freedom.
