Intuitive embroidery, nature and nurture
6 July to 27 July 2024

“This exhibition is inspired by my passion for nature and a quest to reconnect with my early love for crafts — a love that was suppressed by an abusive parent.  Crafting has always been my solace, and nature, my sanctuary. The act of creation and the embrace of the natural world offer healing for past traumas. Through this exhibition, I re-engage with the childhood yearning for a balm to soothe the afflictions I couldn't articulate as a child.”
