Accompanying textInspired by the aerial perspective of Chinese landscape scrolls, this work illustrates a combination of stitchery techniques; handsewing, couching of yarns and machine stitching. It was assembled in overlays of organdy and silk batik on a linen ground supported by a bamboo rod from the forest adjoining the artist's studio.
