The colcha, a traditional bedcover originating from rural America, is transformed into a stunning work of decorative arts through Parish's skilled embroidery and design. Using watercolor and graphite on paper, Parish brings to life a burst of color and pattern that reflects the vibrant spirit of mid-20th century America. The multi-colored threads intertwine harmoniously, creating an intricate tapestry that exudes both charm and functionality. As we delve into this heritage art piece, we are transported back in time to witness the craftsmanship that defined an era. Each stitch tells a story - a testament to the dedication and skill required to create such a masterpiece. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.
