Original artwork description
Nature is inspiring all this series of organic abstracts that I'm working on at the moment and this one in particular it's been inspired by the power of potatoes.
The humble potato was domesticated in the South American Andes some 8,000 years ago and was only brought to Europe in the mid-1500s, from where it spread west and northwards, back to the Americas, and beyond. Earle calls it the “world's most successful immigrant”, as its origin has become unrecognisable for producers and consumers everywhere. Potatoes have feed the world for generations and I think that makes it powerful.
This work has been created with acrylic and embroidery on natural linen. I use embroidery in my works as a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.
Materials used:
Acrylic paint, embroidery threads
