The Breath of Lichen and Light

Measuring 21 by 17 by 4 inches, this sculptural piece captures the quiet resilience of birch bark through a tactile blend of wool and silk. Its curved, uneven form invites close engagement, revealing textured surfaces marked by subtle cracks and crevices that suggest natural weathering. Areas of green, brown, and yellow fibers suggest moss and lichen growing delicately over time, adding layers of organic color and life. The work balances a strong sense of material presence with an intimate reflection on natural cycles, offering a quiet portrait of the layered, slow transformation found in the forest.
