The Grown Woman

Fiber arts/embroidery

“The Grown Woman” is an embroidered image on cotton cloth referencing early European anatomical illustrations with a more floral twist. While working on it, I was thinking of the way science can deepen our understanding of natural cycles.

Artist Statement

Gillian Daniels draws, writes, and has recently begun experimenting with fiber arts. Embroidery has given her the opportunity to “paint” with thread. In this piece, she took inspiration from early European anatomical medical illustrations.
