Vibrational Distillation, from the series Cosmic Weaving

An exquisite attention to detail in her drawing, along with collage and the use of embroidery and textiles, are integral aspects of much of Skuodas’s art. She described the works made during the period leading up to her creation of this one as, “an exploration of… vibrational vulnerability: the invisible phenomena of incremental cause and effect.” Here the embroidered forms resemble linked seeds or waves, themselves connected strongly through bonds of thread to a human heart. She noted that in her working process she attempted to arrive at a “distillation of energies: reverberations, responses, echoes—the vibrational criteria of effects. How is energy transmitted? Sensitive chaos, formulating itself into waves, patterns and natures intermeshing. Parallel phenomena: body, spirit.”
