Description:

Artist’s Statement: “I wanted to use silk to express a realistic still-life painting, including the picture and the frame. The realistic effect of the picture frame was achieved using embroidery by manually controlling it on a stationary machine. At the same time, I wanted to explore unique free-motion quilting to present different picture effects on the front and back of the work.”

 

Techniques: Machine Piecing, Appliqué, Embroidery, and Quilting
