In the Desert is based on the central theme in the Old Testament of the story of Exodus. The powerful concept of faith has example after example in this story of fleeing into the desert. I have wanted to connect this saga to my tapestry work and have been inspired by the strong contrasts found in the desert itself. The desert is a place of stunning beauty and inspirational nature yet, at the same time, it is also an environment that creates anxiety and sets the struggle for survival in every physical aspect. This is exactly the challenge that must be overcome–seeking the beauty and trusting faithfully.
