Shanti
49.5 cm x 56 cm
Shanti depicts a scene from a nearby pond on a quiet Saturday morning. The background was painted years before the rest of the image showed itself. The dance of the dragonflies complements this place of contemplation, of peace (shanti). The dragonflies and bullrushes are fuse appliquéd, then stitched. The technique adds texture to the piece.
