BURNING!

This stitched piece initially began in response to the fires in Los Angeles and the looming threat of climate change as more areas of the world burn more frequently.

I started stitching linen with embroidery floss on a daily basis in 2020 as a way to deal with the stresses of the pandemic, protests, fires… I never stopped. This is what I stitched in 2024.
