Textiles in the Landscape

For the landscape, I wanted to make whimsical mushrooms that remind me of my childhood and place them around in an area where they would spring up. I used to run around and find mushrooms, that I found magical. I made them colorful to reflect this.

Mount Athos

Mount Athos is a special place. It is inhabited by Orthodox Christian monks (only men) and has been for centuries. It is largely untouched by modern culture.

Grand Prismatic Spring

The hot spring is taller than a 10 story building, bigger than a football field, and so vividly colored because of thermophile bacteria in the water.

Meredith Woolnough

Meredith is inspiring because she is excellent at capturing nature through her embroidery.

Here's a link to her gallery.

Joana Vasconcelos

Joana's work is very bold and colorful, as well as expressive.

Here's a link to her gallery.
