Cathedrals of Man and Nature

Ceiling embroidery


Sky stitching


Living in the same space.

Stone cutwork.


Leafy cutwork.



Hand painted sentinels of the cathedral.

Nature misted woodland sentinels.

Cathedral and tree living side by side.


England's St. Alban's Cathedral by the way....
parts of which date back to 1077...
but there was a shrine to St. Alban here in 429.


It is hard to wrap my mind around
the passage of time from then to now.
Hard to imagine all the footsteps
that have worn stone floors to a 'thread'.....
and the lives...
and the stories.


Don't know how old the trees are!
