Simpling (Body) 5, 2020, hand-stitched vellum papercut, 9 x 6 inches. Signed, titled and dated en verso.
This original was created with layers of hand-cut translucent vellum from Gmund, embroidered with thread, and hand-stitched with monofilament to Stonehenge paper.
The Simpling Series is reminiscent of the Rorschach inkblot test, and loosely based on the art of simpling, an early form of herbalism. This practice suggests that the shape and color of medicinal plants carry clues to their proper uses in healing.
Price includes shipping and handling in the U.S. International collectors please contact me for shipping quotes.
