This original artwork was inspired by lyrics from, and was named for, a song by the band Rilo Kiley. Sometimes, when I stop and look at nature and the changing of seasons, these lyrics come to mind.
In this piece, each quatrefoil shaped section shows a scene from one of the four seasons. The center circle contains the text: "you're barely alive" in lowercase lettering. All embroidery and cross stitches have been completed by hand. There are some light pencil/guide lines that have been purposely left in this piece, but can only be see if looking closely. The pencil lines are an aesthetic decision, showing part of my process, and I often choose to include them in my work.
Some new and some vintage materials were used to make this piece. It is finished with a new frame and comes ready to hang. The frame is black wood with an off-white mat and clear glass. The details have been stitched over vintage, printed fabric that has a blue background with tiny white flowers.
Dimensions: 12 inches wide x 12 inches long x 1 inches deep.
This is a one of a kind, original piece of art and will not reproduced. It is one in a set of two.
