Japonica

Embroidered Japanese anemone, in bloom. These intricately stitched works pay tribute to the beauty, impermanence, and fragility of flowers. Their diversity of form and colour, along with their brief lifespans and vulnerability, remains a continual source of fascination. Thread is used to convey these qualities, a material valued for its delicate appearance and its ability to blend almost like paint. Its mix of subtle strength and apparent fragility helps evoke the quiet, enduring allure of flowers. Presented in wooden block.
