Slash

Description

I was drawn to digital embroidery through color and light and the ability of the thread to reflect and define form. Slash was inspired by the material in front of me!  Small off-cuts and stitch-outs on lovely, textured grey material, with a dose of serendipity led to this stubtely undulating piece.  Digital embroidery, wood, Flashe paint.
