Organic Series

My process begins with lino printing, a technique that provides a bold, structured foundation. Onto this surface, I embroider organic forms that emerge intuitively. The embroidery is never planned in advance; it evolves naturally, guided by the mood of the moment, and the visual rhythm of the underlying print. No two pieces are the same. The forms grow, shift, and adapt, mimicking nature.
Combining the repetitive precision of printmaking with the fluid, tactile nature of embroidery, I can explore the tensions between control and spontaneity, structure and softness.
