Theme: Peace and the Pursuit of Happiness Squirrels in Franklin Park      Cotton thread, Indigo dyed silk.        51cm x 31 cm                        Peace comes from being in the flow, from finding a sense of equilibrium in a chaotic and increasingly challenging world. This work was inspired by daily walks through a historic urban park, and reflects my interest in the intersection between walking, drawing, and stitching. Using a repeated running stitch on a scrap of hand dyed indigo silk I have attempted to create an imaginary map of the park and the sense of calm I experienced during these walks.   ‘Squirrels in Franklin Park‘ is a distillation of an ‘atmosphere of place’ and the work forms a record of observation and meditative intent.
