Mabel, 2025

An embroidered, dream-like landscape portrait of my daughter. I took the photo on a summer vacation, a fleeting moment as the sun passed across her lounging body while she read a book. Captured by a mother desperate to slow down time.

Materials: silk jaquard, produce bag, faux flowers, antique ribbon, digital photo inkjet printed on silk, free motion embroidery, cracker jack prize, quilting cotton, mounted on panel

A dream-like landscape about my daughter, the passage of time, and the desire to embed moments into memory
