My latest series of stitched mono prints continue my exploration of trauma, and the process in which stitch and nature played an important role in my healing process.

The receiving of bouquets after traumatic surgery in 2016 inspired a series of prints intending to convey the power of nature and art to heal. The dried petals and leaves convey physical fragility, whilst stitch imparts the renewal process, a metaphor for growth of new tissue that binds, mends and heals. The final culmination is the cathartic creation of the print and complete restoration of health.
