ABOUT THE ARTWORK

It was created by sewing together and assembling screen printed fabrics and flexible materials. The artist describes her work as a celebration of "the elements of nature which ultimately lead to ecological harmony: growth and decay, order and chaos, agitation and tranquility, the ordinary and the sublime."
