Artist Statement: "When I open the drawer, it's packed with an abundance of threads and yarns, nearly overflowing. Just looking at them sparks pure joy and gets the ideas flowing for my next project. To express this sense of fun, I purposely arranged the motifs in a playful, jumbled layout. I used machine cross-stitch embroidery to bring out the unique, tactile textures of each thread and yarn."
