Cadence of Expression

Medium: Hand embroidery on wool_81 x 151 cm

Year: 2024

“Cadence of Expression” celebrates the elegance of a simple whipped running stitch, exploring the theme of abstraction through rhythmic lines created by whipping yarns. Embroidering takes time; it is a slow process that allows for silence. In this silence, I seek a sanctuary from the chaos, fostering a sense of presence through the tactile experience of needle and thread.

In this piece, the rhythmic flow of lines and stitches, synchronized with the movements of my hand and my breath, manifests a harmonious cadence. Every stitch becomes a beat in the visual symphony I compose, celebrating the simplicity and purity of forms through the meticulous process of handcrafting. As the art moves across the canvas, it invites the viewer into a visual and tactile rhythm, offering a meditative escape into the beauty of handcrafted abstraction.

The piece embodies fluidity, coherence, and intentional arrangement, contributing to their overall aesthetic and emotional impact.
