All the things

71” x 48”, beads, sequins, embroidery floss, miscellaneous textiles on raw canvas

“This maximalist, abstracted elephant was inspired by my 3-week residency in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The experience was a constant feast for the senses - the rich jewelled tones and gold of the temples, the bright joyful bustle of the markets, the complex flavours of the cuisine, and the intricate details of the local textiles. It is called “All the Things” because it includes all the textile-based techniques we learned and materials I brought back, creating a cacophony to overwhelm and intrigue the viewer. ”
