Soft Geometry

Description

Soft Geometry is digital embroidery on muslin. This is a bridge piece, transitioning between the series exploring geometry and the series, called Organelles, that explore single cell organisms.  The images are based on some small watercolors exploring organisms, while the forms are about what squares can hold!  The stuffed muslin “pillows” are crammed into the boxes, creating beautiful convolutions.
