CAROLA VAN DYKE studio

Still Life's

A series of Still Life sculptured embroideries, inspired by Dutch 17th century artist Rachel Ruysch, whose vanitas theme would remind viewers of the fleeting nature of life, the transience of beauty, and the inevitability of death. This tradition with its richness and ornate elegance echo through her threads, shaping a contemporary dialogue between nature and art history.
