Alchemy
Alchemy is a contemplative piece inspired by space and skyscapes. Inspired by my small watercolour sketch, I worked directly on a light weight silk Georgette. I used large areas of flax and linen to create vibrant textures and light refractions, working in contrast with the cocooning feel of the wool fibers. The bottom part of the artwork is rich in warm and copper tones, slowly exhaling into the airy open space.
