I am not centered.

Yet, I am calm.

Around my Jade Buddha a crescent of crocheted wool holds quiet as the moon holds light. I was made to steady what drifts, to remind you that stillness does not require symmetry, only presence.

Stillness is a freeform crochet Dreamcatcher and mixed-media fiber assemblage centered around a carved jade Buddha pendant seated in a crochet nest. The inner circle is intentionally offset, forming a crescent of crocheted wool that introduces a subtle lunar quality. Painted howlite beads resembling the earth surround the inner form, while African trade beads accent the macramé hemp hanger and tassel. Layered fibers of hand-dyed wool, silk, and hemp come together to express calm, grounding, and quiet movement.
