Gathering Kith and Kin (Saskia Wassing)

I love to set up still life’s to draw from. This little grouping on my windowsill includes a mix of pieces that connect me to the people and places I cherish. They contain threads of my story. As I work, new narratives are imagined and intertwined offering comfort and a joyful reflection. The dark blue linen ground is embroidered freely using a basic domestic sewing machine as a drawing tool, building up the textures, patterns and details. Framed, ready to hang
