Numb is about grief and loss.
The rows of dark grey stitching are the reverse of a message I received that changed my life forever. It was the irreconcilable news that a dear loved one has passed leaving me in shock, unable to think and feeling completely and utterly numb.
Numb is a companion piece to Time Stands Still which captures the grief and heartache of losing a loved one. Creating these artworks was a difficult journey and helped me through my own grieving process.
Size 12 x 12 cm (30 x 30cm framed), hand embroidered vintage Sylko thread on cotton cloth.
