Eileen Kwan Handmade Story

From the archives, installation of botanical sculptures as a mobile with my favourite jeans

Exuberance 2012, Craft Ontario

Everlasting blooms 365 days a year

Hand-embroidered, botanical sculpture 8″ x 5″

Met this jaunty fella on a stroll along the windy coast the other night.  A performance artist working his mojo on a black boulder.

Henricia leviuscula, Pacific Blood red star

Pink clouds times two. Gobsmacked.

An extended stretch of beach material that projects out to sea and is joined to the mainland at one end. Spits are formed where the prevailing wind blows at an angle to the coastline, resulting in longshore drift.

Small, precise individual embroidery stitches recognized when colour is “bleached out” from the image; tree, work-in-progress

a whole range of colours that do not have a proper, bonafide name

French Beach 2019, linen, cotton thread, 17’x 11″
