2024 was a productive year. I created several different book series of embroidered and embellished books during my 1.5 years as a Folger Institute Fellow. These three flower books are in response to Shakespeare's Sonnet 54. During my artist talk at the Folger on 16 November 2024, I mentioned the power of flowers. "The act of giving flowers is a timeless gesture of deep appreciation, love, or praise. Beyond their symbolic value, flowers serve as visually striking design elements, drawing the eye and creating inviting focal points. Even after a fresh bouquet fades, the memory of the gesture endures, lending a poignant resonance to these artistic choices." /Suzanne Coley, 'Coded Threads,' November 2024
