The beautiful landscape Beyond the Ridge, celebrates nature in its bounty of swaying trees, rolling pink hillocks and abundance of flora. The work endeavours to reveal the essence of nature by capturing the flow of pristine air and colours glowing to exude taste and smell making it a delectable sight.
Each tree and foliage in the artwork is done in unique thread techniques to show the beauty and the diversity of nature. The luminosity is enhanced with textured thread techniques to emphasize the internal brilliance of the foliage. This artwork took approximately 5000 hours of handwork to be completed.
