The Work
A one-of-one framed textile artwork built as a compact dome field. The square format is contained and graphic, designed to hold presence through rhythm and calibrated colour rather than scale. The oak frame introduces warmth and a clear architectural edge.
The surface is organised as stacked rows of scalloped dome units, offset so the field reads as a continuous canopy. Each form is held within precise arcs, with a small dark centre acting as an anchor. The repeat is dense but measured, allowing the eye to move evenly across the surface. The oak frame and inner slip work as perimeter rules, containing the field and giving the piece a defined edge.
Colour Logic
Colour is handled structurally. Bands of red, magenta, navy, yellow, stone and soft neutrals move across the field, stepping as you travel from top to bottom. Pale arcs separate one row from the next, preventing the palette from collapsing into a single mass. Dark centres punctuate the canopy at a steady rhythm. From a distance the work reads as a graded dome surface; up close it resolves into stitch density, direction and edge work.

Authenticity and Colour
Hand embroidery carries natural variation in tension and surface texture. Stronger tones read deepest in lower light, while pale arcs and yellows lift most clearly in daylight. Screen settings vary, so colour may differ slightly in person.
