Haeckel in Sapphire, the companion piece to ‘Haeckel in Chartreuse’ is an original hand made three dimensional embroidery set into a real piece of found timber, inspired by the art work of German zoologist and biologist Ernst Haeckel
The limited colour palette of blue, teal and copper, along with an array of textures including velvet, wool, silk, and glass beads tempt you to look closer, to notice the details. How the lichen quietly flows across the wood, small but unyielding, while the delicate mushrooms remind us of the fragility of nature and life.
Set out from the boxed frame without glass to allow you to study the piece from multiple angles and on a simple mat black background, Haeckel in Sapphire will compliment any space you choose to display it.
Finished frame 20cm x 20cm x 3cm with the embroidery continuing another 4cm out from the frame.
