A six-foot ritual cloth, hand-embroidered by visual artist LADA in 2005-2006 together with her mother Marusia, who was then 96, is the centerpiece of FOUND THREADS. It was designed from cut linen pieces and threads found in her mother’s sewing room. 

Inspired by her mother’s hand-embroidered linens, LADA gives them new life. Within their existing geometric borders, she hand stitches multiple images with found threads. For LADA, embroidery is a new medium through which she explores the relationship between order, spontaneity, thread and ritual. See selections from exhibit here.
