(SML025) It's a Trap!

*Use Flash Photography* In It's a Trap! I explore the brutal femininity of the Venus fly trap. Elegantly curved traps, colored with seductive hues conceal the unforgiving power of these creatures. The intricate balance between alluring softness and strength is explored in this quilt through sharp lines, vibrant colors, and soft blushes. The striking paradoxes this plant must embody to survive parallels the complexity of womanhood as echoed in the much-discussed monologue from the recently released Barbie movie. And yet the seriousness of the subject abates when a flash photo is taken and reflective thread reveals a hidden playfulness and joy.
