The Language of Irises

A mixed-media textile work that explores the quiet beauty and symbolism of the iris, where purple irises created in silk ribbon rise gracefully from a richly textured garden floor against a softly painted fabric background. Layers of ribbon, fiber, and stitch create depth and movement, while subtle variations of purple and green bring individuality to each bloom, resulting in a piece that feels abundant, contemplative, and quietly expressive.
