Kait Batts, Fade to Normal, embroidery floss on cotton in hand-stained wooden hoop, 14.5x14.75 in.
INSPIRATION
“Fade to Normal” reflects on magnificence in its most understated form: the quiet, persistent beauty of everyday womanhood. In a world saturated with heavily edited images and idealized versions of women, this piece turns its attention back to simple splendor.
The movement depicted in the outstretched colors of the flowers surrounding the woman's face evokes the busyness and blur of daily life, while the woman’s stillness embodies the steady, grounded strength of women who keep going, one step at a time. “Fade to Normal” celebrates the creative power and resilience found in the ordinary moments where women simply exist and endure.
