The Woven Shepherds
Their hands that guide, their hearts that keep The geese, the flowers, the faithful sheep. In thread and love forever bound, Protectors of all life around.
In these enchanting embroidered works, Maud Fuller Petersham portrays the timeless bond between humanity and nature. The shepherd and shepherdess stand as gentle guardians in their shared pastoral world—she with flowing red hair watching over birds and geese, he with steadfast presence guiding his sheep.
Though captured in separate pieces, they inhabit the same dreamy landscape where clouds billow and flowers bloom in vibrant hues. Their purpose is unified: to protect and nurture all living things in their care. Through masterful needlework, these textiles celebrate the beauty of stewardship and the delicate harmony between humankind and the natural world.
