Animal portraits
In the last series I wanted to show the process of transformation of the negative animal qualities. I focused now at the positive qualities of the animals of the second series of textile books.

 

When I am conscious of my animal characteristics, I can use them differently. I can play with them and use them whenever I want to and as long as I want to. For the chameleon this means that I can play with being visible and invisible. Blending with the surrounding or coming out of it. Fit in or being proud to be different...
Thus I have made 10 sets of 2 small embroideries (for each animal 2 embroideries).
Below this a picture of a series of 2 from a lizard that bites hisself in its tail to protect his vulnerable inside.

 

After this was finished I decided to also embroider the 10 negative qualities of the animals again, so that I would be able to show them all together in a folding screen.
