In my work caterpillars represent the feeling that sits between “ewww” and being mesmerized by butterfly wings. All animals - and flowers, and plants, and even celestial bodies in my work - are essentially the stand-ins for human (and sometimes nonhuman) emotions. Some emotions are uncomplicated and innocent and childlike, and some are so strange and complex we don’t have a name for them yet. But they exist anyway, and couldn’t possibly care less about our insufficient vocabulary. They hide between pages of a book, and on the edges of an old forest. City sidewalks are full of them. And in art, they’re everywhere. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery stitch, every bead, every pearl in my embroidered panels are sewn on velvet by hand. It’s a slow process but i found this is the only way i can fully explore my ideas - while working on them. I often say that my embroidered tapestries made mostly out of time. Hopefully, it makes them timeless.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Larysa Bernhardt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60335445475614,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/3532\/files\/LarysaBernhardt_408679ef-01d5-469f-a66c-a247c707be4e.jpg?v=1792123423","url":"https:\/\/www.moderneden.com\/products\/alice-meets-the-caterpillar","provider":"Modern Eden Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
