Gentle Breeze in Small Forest, 2007

Based on an original unpublished photograph, 1970's

Single sided silk embroidery, 30 x 24 inches framed 50 x 44 inches.

Full color embroidery featuring layers of textural stitching and over 15 different stitches. This image also employs a technique for rendering deep dimension, combining it with the stitchery illusion of leaves in motion, blurring as they move in front of the camera.

Artist statement: "I think it is THE most sophisticated of ALL of our high-detail, stitch rich, color extravaganza, photographic illusion embroideries."
