Idle Routes of Me

Idle Routes

Idle Routes, Wendy Fuselier, 2021

    I've spent some time recently thinking about the paths not taken in my life. Not in a regretful way, just out of curiosity about who else I could have become. 

    The person I did become loves juxtaposition, both in life and in design. She is a creature of hand-work who finds comfort in fibers. This piece is a reflection of the layers, torn bits, unexpected outcomes in my life and how I've managed to stitch them all together into something greater than the sum of their parts.

    The fabrics are new, vintage and reclaimed cotton, silk, linen, and rayon. Hand pieced and stitched using pearl cotton.
