Mother Sun is the third in a trilogy of embroidered divinities, made in collaboration with Saramaca women (an ethnic group of French Guiana). The series celebrates motherhood and the fertility of existence; with each piece embroidered by hand using an ancestral Saramaca weaving tradition. Situated between Mother Moon and Mother Earth, this work honors the spirit, abundance and wisdom of the sun.
