This 'Wall Decoration' was made by Margery Parish, we don't know exactly when, but you can see Parish's artistic process playing out on the page. It's all about the touch, the slow, meditative stitching of the forms, and the minimal colour palette creates an intimate world. Looking at the texture, it’s all suggested through these delicate stitches. The artist hints at form and depth, like in the whimsical angel shape, made up of tiny strokes that give it a soft, almost ethereal quality. The colour palette is muted, mainly browns and creams. The whole thing feels like a quiet conversation, the stitches forming lines, creating shapes, and hinting at stories. You could compare it to the work of Ree Morton, who was another artist exploring the process of making and the hidden poetry of everyday materials. Ultimately, art is a journey, not a destination. It’s in these quiet, unassuming moments that we find the most profound connections.
