Palm Tree Throw

The Work 'Palm Tree Throw' is a one-of-one hand-embroidered textile. The format is compact, designed for placement where you want detail, structure, and surface presence without requiring a large footprint. The work is built around a central palm form set within a bordered field of fruiting vines and stylised botanical motifs. The palm rises through the centre of the piece, with layered fronds opening outward above a cluster of pomegranate forms, curling stems, and smaller floral elements. The composition is symmetrical in principle but not rigid, giving the work structure, balance, and movement at the same time. Colour Logic Colour is handled through contrast and distribution. A black ground provides depth and keeps the composition contained, while muted blue, soft red, sage green, terracotta, ivory, and pale saffron are spread evenly across the surface. The blue and red pomegranate forms create the strongest accents, while the palm and surrounding foliage introduce a wider tonal rhythm. The palette is varied but controlled, with no single colour overwhelming the field.
