Conceptually these piece's are about being alive within a state of death. It is intended to stimulate the authority of the natural elements reassuring a sense of balance. By preserving a state of decay the importance of time and progression is emphasized. Throughout the piece I used maiden grass which is a tall grass used typically as a light colored backdrop. The fabric is hand dyed and is reflective of the colors found within the grass. Tulle is used to veil and contain the grass causing the growth to be deliberate and continued with purpose. The release of energy is found within the embroidery work as well as the loose threads which mimic free floating roots. The linear quality of the pieces emphasis the way in which we use this particular grass. As a decorative element often secluded, isolated from natural growth and interaction.
