« To stitch; a thread or line that holds things together – this is the literal translation of the ancient Sanskrit word « sutra ». In the « Healing Sutras » I use contemporary embroidery on antique fabric as a canvas to explore the common threads that bind countless generations of women. Wounds – both physical and psychological – are given life using delicate, meditative stitches. Traditionally thought of as « woman’s work », sewing is a time consuming and contemplative process, each thoughtfully considered stitch becoming integral to the whole. »
