Crafts CouncilDirectorySaskia SaundersPeace in RestAboutLooking up at the winter branch-scapes of the woodlands reminds us of the natural cycles of rest, that too often we forget (or are forced to ignore) in modern life. To rest means to pare back to the essentials. To feel like the deciduous branches in winter, bare yet strong. Whether a quiet pause in the day or a longer sabbatical, rest is vital for our physical and mental wellbeing. Rest is honouring ourselves so that we have the energy to focus on what matters most to us.Saskia SaundersOxford, EnglandStrength / Stillness / Quietude, Saskia SaundersHemp yarn on birch plywood, Oak veneer frame, 35 x 35 cmTender Space / Breathing, Saskia SaundersHemp yarn on birch plywood, Oak veneer frame, 75 x 75 cm / Hemp and linen yarn on birch plywood, Oak veneer frame, 45 x 45 cmBreathing, Saskia SaundersHemp and linen yarn on birch plywood, Oak veneer frame, 45 x 45 cmTender Space, Saskia SaundersHemp yarn on birch plywood, Oak veneer frame, 75 x 75 cmPeace in RestAboutLooking up at the winter branch-scapes of the woodlands reminds us of the natural cycles of rest, that too often we forget (or are forced to ignore) in modern life.
