Alicia O’Dell is a textile artist, slow stitch enthusiast, and natural dye explorer. Her creative practice is a form of meditation, an embodied way to connect more deeply with herself and the world around her. Through slow stitching and working with plants, she listens to the quiet conversation between the natural world and the human experience. Her work is informed by place and the impermanence of seasons. You can follow along with her latest stitch work and dye garden experiments on Instagram: @woveninplace

Alicia writes, “Nature is my greatest teacher. My creative practice always begins with time spent in nature, often through slow walks where I can observe and absorb the landscape around me. My work is a translation of place—a way to listen, respond, and engage with the environment.
