Astral is the first piece I made in this series, and is a big beast at 72"x84". It took me a solid year to make... can you believe this started out as just piles of black velveteen?
It was a commission for a dear friend of mine, and the stitching pattern is designed specifically for him, bringing together themes of galactic nights, rhythm, music and sacred geometry. It's hand-painted with phosphorescent galaxies, and the thread glows as well, as you can see in the "dark" photo.
