About MeThe natural world of flowers, fruit and trees play a large part in Maggie Riegler's work. This piece is inspired by the gnarled trunk of a tree. Using a combination of macrame, wrapping, stitching and padding , it captures beautifully the colours, textures and qualities of a tree.More About Me
