The Slow Breath of Forest Floor

Measuring 65" by 18" by 4", this elongated textile piece invites a quiet contemplation of the forest floor’s slow transformation. Crafted from wool and silk, its surface is richly textured with raised, organic forms that echo fallen birch trees in various stages of decay. The light, neutral palette of beiges and off-whites is gently punctuated by earthy greens and deep browns, grounding the work in a subtle naturalism. Its uneven, wavy edges enhance the sense of movement and growth, as if the piece itself breathes with the cycles of the woodland. The three-dimensional layering creates a tactile depth, encouraging a closer look that reveals the delicate interplay between fabric and form—capturing the patient, rhythmic return of nature to earth.
