Description: I reimagined needlepointing into a completely different realm. Instead of using the traditional needle, embroidery thread and canvas; I use an exacto knife, shredded paper and perforated aluminum. I hand formed the aluminum. My pallet was the shredded paper I used to make the imagery. Using a knife I wove the shreds, repeating this process thousands of times. It's a meditative process in selecting each piece. I want the end result to create a multi-sensory experience for the viewer.
At the Hands of Man
EXTINCTION: Save the Planet is an international juried online group exhibition by Gallerium, in Ontario, Canada. My piece "At the Hands of Man" was selected. Time is running out to stop global warming. The sphere represents the earth with the hands of Man being the cause. The hourglass inside the sphere is telling us time is running out. The hand on the hourglass is trying to turn it over to reverse the effects that man has hand on the planet.
This international symbol represents global warming
& extinction.
& extinction.
