A Shell of a Nightmare 2023

Off stage- now embraced in collector's story

Discover ‘A Shell of a Nightmare’, a unique work of art that blends poetry and bold technique. Made from recycled threads of my own batiks, this embroidered paper piece captures the essence of a dream that is both protective and vulnerable.

Within a white frame, bright yellow threads twist and collide, evoking thick, scaly skin, dotted with touches of pale green that breathe through a subtle armour. The negative spaces emerge like reefs, offering a sense of porosity and protection, as if the work could both contain and release a dream.

A small white circle marked with an ‘O’ rests discreetly at the bottom right of the square, while a handwritten line reveals the title and year.

This fascinating piece is not only an artistic statement, but also an invitation to explore the nuances of your own dreams.

Let yourself be enchanted by this creation and give your space a touch of unique and thoughtful art.
