Carola Van Dyke is a contemporary textile artist making free-motion embroidered artwork. Inspired both by the natural world and vintage botanical illustrations and 17th century Dutch flower paintings, her work spans the worlds of fine and decorative art and design. The artwork is made with built up layers of thread. Her subjects are straggly overgrown plants and weeds. The works are associated with the growing awareness of the environment and the need to preserve it. She's proving yet again you can draw in your mind with all kinds of materials in your hands.
