Herbarium
Herbarium is an embroidery with floating stitches of the common Sow Thistle. It explores how to replicate natural beauty with thread, either in bloom or decayed, with textures, mismatches, colours and layers.
It is associated with the growing awareness of the environment, and the need for preservation. Important is also the story of the work done underground, the roots, highlighting the beauty and diversity that exists in the undergrowth.
