Lava

Hand-embroidery on habotai silk, lava intervention with gilding.
2018.
This ongoing series which explores the dialogue between human culture and nature’s cycle of renewal.
The series also explores notions of human perception and interpretation of natural phenomena, the silence & materiality of newly created existence (new land) as a point of infinite possibility, as something that may be seen as something precious.
These will be the first pieces in a much larger scale than I am used to working on, and explores the furthering of dialogue between photography as contemporary art and embroidery and other craft techniques, bridging the distance between the two via use of specific materials & techniques such as gilding on textiles and embroidery illustration based on photographic images.
