Risen | Mixed Fiber Freeform Crochet Wall Art | Cycles of Nature & Fractured Time, 2023
Risen is a mixed fiber freeform crochet wall artwork created in 2023 during a period when time felt unstable and unreliable. The COVID era is approached here not as illness, but as a stretch of years in which personal loss and global uncertainty blurred together and reshaped daily life.
While the human world filled with fear, division, and noise, the natural world remained steady. The sun continued to rise. Winter arrived and released its hold. Spring returned without asking permission.
This piece reflects that contrast. It is a meditation on endurance, on cycles that persist regardless of human chaos, and on nature as the only constant when meaning fractures.
“He is risen” is not used as doctrine, but as truth. The sun returns. Always.
