Still Thread

Still Thread is a contemplative graphite drawing rendered in delicate tonal transitions and layered shadows. A solitary woman sits on a wooden chair, dressed in a light garment, knitting with calm concentration. Her figure is softly illuminated from the left, casting shadows across a background of vertical drapes that subtly echo the linearity of her knitting needles and posture.

The piece evokes timelessness — a suspended moment filled with invisible motion. It is a quiet ode to slowness, to the meditative rhythm of repetition, and to the intimate silence of creation. The yarn ball resting on the floor, her bare feet, and the modest interior all suggest vulnerability, agency, and a kind of sacred solitude.

This work is ideal for collectors drawn to figurative realism, domestic intimacy, or meditative still-life portraiture. It bridges classical draftsmanship with contemporary sensitivity.
