Flora as Fashion: Asia Muka
Flora as Fashion: Asia Muka" 2019 Digital inkjet print and yarn 40 x 40 in. |
I had been studying varying embroidery stitches and hit up on the buttonhole stitch which seemed to emulate the undulating outline of the cactus. The evenly spaced cactus spines gave me a guide to puncture the surface. Turning the cactus into feathers seen in an elaborate Las Vegas showgirl costume came alive with the use of yarn instead of embroidery floss.
Three weeks later, the piece was finished.
I'm extremely proud to showcase this image in my exhibition which will be opening tonight at MuzeuMM.
