"Parmelia Mater" is a textile artwork in silk noil, dyed with natural colors, inspired by the quiet strength of lichen.
Silk noil – a raw fiber made from silk waste – carries with it the imperfection and beauty of a material that has lived. Its irregular, authentic threads absorb natural dyes like bark welcomes lichen: slowly, deeply.
The name Parmelia Mater is a tribute to my mother, who taught me to observe nature, to listen to its rhythms, and to find beauty in small things.
