Wall hanging "Pervenche no.1"

A botanical artwork inspired by the fascinating vinca folia

Pervenche no. 1 (Periwinkle No.1)

This unique wall quilt explores the singular beauty of periwinkle (vinca folia), a resilient plant that carpets our Quebec soils. Inspired by an original photograph, this textile piece captures the essence of this invasive plant that offers natural protection against weeds while valiantly resisting our harsh winters. The work is distinguished by its meticulous appliqué technique and improvised hand quilting that runs through the composition as a continuous line, evoking the organic and fluid patterns of this plant. The deliberately raw textile edges add a tactile dimension that enriches the visual and sensory experience of the piece.
