Inspired by the view after a hike on Mt. Wachusett, this piece represents the serenity and clarity that nature provides when we take the time to truly connect. By hand embroidering my watercolor landscapes, I reflect on the idea of mending our connection with Mother Earth. The repetitive nature of stitching becomes a meditation on the work needed to mend this relationship. Visually, hand stitching lends itself to the movement and layers of hills and mountains, while creating overall depth and texture.
