Rachel calls them postmodern embroideries which are created in response to ideas of appropriation, obsession with self and deconstruction of materials.
Petri Dish, Thorax and Heart and lungs are part of a series inspired by human biology and anatomy, Petri dish was featured on Craftzine on April 18, 2008.

knit-r-done posted a link on the ‘what are you making‘ forum thread to her embroidery ‘internal organs’ experiment.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my perceptions of my body. I still plan on doing a lot of knitting, but I’m going to be working a lot of stuff out in my head with embroidery for a while. I’m thinking beyond “body image” to the mental pictures I carry with me of my own inner workings–bones, organ, chemicals.
