This tapestry is a scene of quiet, rhythmic abundance. It shows egrets in motion: feeding, flying, and pausing. The egret, long a symbol of balance and patience, becomes a chorus of gestures, each slightly different, all connected by Nadra's intuitive, freehand weaving.
The bag was then cut and saddle-stitched by Anette in her countryside saddlery, using resilient Niagara leather to create a structure that honours and protects the tapestry. It is a piece that carries both movement and calm.
