The Inside
ArtistLitli Ulfuruses hand embroidery as a way to explore her connection with nature.
The textile artist begins each piece by quieting her mind and allowing herself to be one with nature.
What I create is influenced by stimuli, impressions, and reactions, Ulfur explains to My Modern Met.
“The Inside”
Being alone in nature is really important to me.
It gives me space to reflect on why I do what I do and feel what I feel.
I connect with my own personal world of imagination and possibilities.
