Wall Art - Stop Hate
Hand-embroidery. Fine cotton floss thread. Hand-dyed linen fabric. Painted bamboo frame. Artwork is about 5" in diameter. Includes a tabletop stand.
Saddened by the increase in violence against Asians and Asian-Americans as a scapegoat for the COVID-19 pandemic, Debra wanted to portray the anxiety, fear and stress that insidious and targeted hate can impose. Hate in any form affects all of us regardless of whether it is from personal experience or from distant events reported in the news.

Wall Art - We Are Individuals, Not a Sterotype
Hand-embroidery. Fine cotton floss thread. Linen fabric. Cotton applique. Painted bamboo frame. Artwork is about 5" in diameter. Includes a tabletop stand.
The duality of Asian stereotypes -- the successful, hardworking and harmony-seeking "Model Minority," a myth that often renders Asians invisible during economic prosperity but changes to "Yellow Peril" as a scapegoat for economic hardship. This pattern in U.S. history continues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fueled by former President Trump's coronavirus rhetoric, anti-Asian hate incidents have increased dramatically and continues to rise.

Wall Art - Blocks on Blocks
Hand-knit. Embroidery. 100% mercerized cotton thread. Arwork is 6" x 6" and is 13" x 13" framed (purplish/black). Hang in a cool, dry place.
For a study in using one shape and a combination of color saturations, I began with threads in a narrow value range but with hue and saturation broadly represented. I was unhappy with the overall effect as being flat and the center right-angled shape was too much of a focus. So I repeated the same right-angled shape in a darker value thread. This added more depth and movement for a harmonious and balanced composition.
