Matriarch – Orca

Orcas are one of the few other species where females experience menopause; giving importance to the matriarch who plays a vital role with grand-offspring rearing. This matriarch is jumping off in a beautiful sunset, with water dripping off her belly.

This piece is made with thread using free-motion embroidery on a regular sewing machine, mounted on pins and framed. The surroundings are made with layers of watercolor paper to provide even more depth.
