Celestial Bodies is inspired by Hubble Space imagery and my love of Victorian flowers embroidered onto oversized Ektachrome 1950s vintage photographic postcards. The advent of Ektachrome color reversal film in the 1940s changed the production of travel postcards away from linen to a more favorable and cost effective picture postcard. Celestial Bodies is a science fiction narrative of futuristic, larger than life flowers, which loom like galaxies and exploding nebulae in the sky of 1950s landscape scenes. Each postcard was cross-stitched with cotton embroidery floss onto oversized 6x9" postcards, and are unique works with no additional editions.
