Backstory:

What would I see if I found a canvas in the woods? Consumed by nature...

I imagine... small flowers starting to break through the canvas surface, growing from wet moss like miniature cushions and beds. Blades of grass springing towards the sun, dew gripping the stems. Stones, some polished with time. I would find wild things... resting.

I’d find a growing uncertainty whether the deer sleeps or decomposes.

The feeling of the woods... beautiful, but brutal.

I intend for the viewer to want to touch this work, mirroring my own experiences in nature. To achieve this, I learned to hand-sew and embroider hand-crafted moss from thread, yarn, and fabric. I wanted bulkier elements such as leaves/vines. Learning to crochet, I created individual/clumps of leaves that would “grow” from the canvas. Lacking a material to catch the light, I found sewing individual beads added a sense of reflective dew/rain drops, enhancing the level of textural detail desired.

Knowing I’m creating a daring composition, I painted a deer on a separate loose canvas, in the size/arrangement that would fit both canvases. Later, I cut and mounted the painting onto the final piece. Complimented by Overgrown & Clustered Moss.
