Beneath Birch's Silent Embrace

Beneath Birch’s Silent Embrace is a three-dimensional textile sculpture measuring 24 by 18 by 4 inches. Layers of wool and silk felt build an organic, cylindrical form that gently twists and folds, evoking the natural contours of birch bark. A soft white base is punctuated by patches of green, dark grey, brown, and black, mimicking the subtle variations found in the forest. The textured surface invites a tactile response, with edges that curl and rise, enhancing the piece’s sculptural presence. This work captures a quiet, grounded connection to nature, recalling the stillness and resilience of birch trees along a remote portage.
