“WORK IS LOVE MADE VISIBLE.” - Kahlil Gibran

HILLARY WATERS FAYLE "brings together materials and processes that express the union of humanity and the physical world, most often textile traditions in collaboration with botanical material. We all have a deep historical and lived experience with cloth- powerful and ever present. Plants and cloth both represent specific and symbolic connections to place, time, people and memory. Leaves are infinitely replenish-able, uniquely exquisite, ubiquitous to the point of being taken for granted- remarkable, yet invisible. Plants connect us directly to the land, grounding us in our understanding of our place on the planet."

ME TOO!!! I wonder if she has to dry the leaves before she stitches them?

I think she stitches fresh leaves - dry ones would crumble. this is delicate work.
which makes it even more fantastic.
