‘Quiet Construction’

PARKER, SUMMER 2024

Abstract collage featuring a floral illustration, a white embroidered lace leaf, and a close-up of a yellow flower with orange stamen.

A soft tension between effortlessness and intention.

Crochet insets, hand-braided bias cording, and placed watercolor prints drift across fluid silks, light linen, and airy cottons. Each detail is subtle but deliberate, balancing sheerness, silhouette, and texture.

Exploring techniques inspired by shell shape and form.

Single-edge and double-edge gathering, shell-tucks, in-seam piping, pearl-edge marrow with exposed ruffle edges, mixed-print patchwork, & in-seam piping.
