Dyad Heather Martin-McNabSalt Spring Island, BC Dimension 13" x 12" x 12" Médium Waxed linen threads wrapped and stitched over fibre rush. Silverwork by Bruce Pearson. “Dyad” is a coil construction, lidded basket containing another basket hidden in plain sight. It represents duality and secrets that separate us from oneness. I commissioned a local jeweler to create the pull, curved hinge, and clasp in sterling silver, which I then hand-stitched in place using a curved needle. I use four-ply waxed linen threads wrapped and stitched over a continuous core of fiber rush. This technique is a slow process completed over time; therefore, I work intuitively, allowing the process to guide me through all aspects of the design until the piece nears completion.
