STEWARDS
(assembled dimensions: 26 inches by 26 inches)
Representations of the four elements – earth, air, fire, and water – grouped around a pair of human hands offer a reminder that we are called to be stewards of all creation.

Appliqué, couching, and improvisational machine stitching are among the techniques employed in creating the pieces in this work from silk and synthetic fabrics. The pieces were embellished with beads, stones, decorative threads, and bits of antique baling twine.
