Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette is a fiber-based work that draws on the opulence and theatricality associated with its namesake, rendered through a palette of various hues of pinks, creamy neutrals, and deep greens. The composition evokes a sense of decadence and fragility, where layered fibers mimic the lavish textures and embroidered finery. Pinks bloom across the surface in varying intensities, suggesting both romance and excess, while cream tones provide a luminous backdrop that softens and elevates the composition. Deep green thread's their way through the piece like ornamental flourishes or overgrown garden details, subtly referencing the cultivated natural spaces of aristocratic life. The work balances control with looseness—structured passages dissolve into more organic, unraveling forms. This interplay reflects the tension between refinement and vulnerability, surface and substance. Marie Antoinette becomes a meditation on beauty, artifice, and impermanence, where elegance is both celebrated and gently undone through the language of fiber.
