Description: "Mended" portrays two hands with fingers delicately intertwined, symbolizing the nurturing touch of an individual skilled in mending various aspects of life, from garments to emotions. The bodice of the figure is depicted through woven embossing, representing how weaving binds together disparate elements into a cohesive whole. This imagery reflects the journey of life, where we experience highs and lows, gathering threads of growth, love, and despair, weaving them together, and mending them into the fabric of our being. Executed through a drypoint collagraph technique with relief rolled embossed patterns, the artwork invites contemplation on resilience, growth, and the interconnectedness of our experiences.
