Hanging Lichens

Inspired by the colours, patterns and textures of Usnea lichens hanging from ancient trees in areas of clean air quality.

Incorporating hand-stitching, machine-stitching and beading.

On woollen felt, hand-dyed linen and silk chiffon.

Portraying the verdant, lush coverage on the fallen branches within the forest.

Sewn on handmade and hand-dyed felt, scrim and wool rovings.
