Dreaming of Love by the River III

This is the second half of the Dreaming of Love pair. If the first piece is the arrival at the river, this one is the staying — the moment after you’ve put down whatever you were carrying and the water has finally started to hear you.

I stitched into this one differently. The threads sit a little denser here, a little more insistent, the way a real conversation gets when it has been going for a while. The palette is close to its sister piece but not the same; that felt important. Love, in my experience, is rarely symmetrical.

For collectors of Caribbean art who are building a wall around a story rather than a single moment, the two Dreaming of Love pieces speak to each other. Hang them together and the river runs through both.
