The Matriarch as a Landscape
70cm × 108cm
Tufted tapestry mounted on MDF board.
The Matriarch as a Landscape is the third stop on the journey through Hyperworlds. It expands beyond the “Maiden–Mother–Crone” triad to include the Matriarch - a distinct archetype of embodied power and wisdom. This is the “autumn” of a woman’s life — a stage where the sun begins to set on youth, but her radiance and power continue to grow.
At sunset, a huge sunflower grows from the land in full bloom. At its centre is a heart-like core, symbolising emotional depth and the capacity to sustain others through love and endurance. Although the sun is setting, the sunflower continues to bloom through the encroaching darkness — suggesting that the woman is her own source of light.
Each Hyperworlds sequence is designed as a complete three-part set. Collectors who acquire both large works (landscape and map) will receive the smaller piece (relic) as part of the complete collection.

The Matriarch’s Relic
35cm × 75cm
Tufted tapestry mounted on MDF board.
The Matriarch’s Relic depicts an imagined object from the realm of the Matriarch within the Hyperworlds collection. A lit candle wrapped in sunflower leaves merges the symbolism of flame and flower. The candle becomes the sunflower, and the sunflower becomes the Matriarch.
Beneath the candle is a sundial, traditionally used to measure the movement of time through sunlight. Here, the sundial suggests that the Matriarch no longer relies on external guidance or illumination. She possesses the power and energy to light her own path, even as the sun begins to set. The Matriarch is not a fading figure, but is a source of power and energy.
Each Hyperworlds sequence is designed as a complete three-part set. Collectors who acquire both large works (landscape and map) will receive the smaller piece (relic) as part of the complete collection.
