Image Statement: Part of an ongoing altar series, Mandorla weaves together felt, stone, and thread into a sacred threshold. Framed by variscite and grounded with pearl, the form of the mandorla—a symbol of union and divine encounter—emerges in hand-stitched wool. This piece invites contemplation of portals, altars, and the spaces where opposites meet to hold transformation.
