This small expressionist diptych captures the layered, shifting essence of Lake Ferry through stitched collage. Contours of distant hills and shimmering reflections suggest eyes, waves, and leaves—nature as both subject and witness.
Rows of machine stitching in varied colours trace the land’s form and shadows, creating rhythmic patterns that respond intuitively to the fabrics beneath.
Each panel is finished with hand-stitched tallies of local postcodes framing the view. One sits upright, the other inverted, reinforcing the idea of reflection and inviting the viewer to explore multiple orientations.
